Using Image Memories

  Several image memories are associated with each image display station. Thus it is possible to have several images loaded in the image display at the same time and to switch quickly from one channel to the other. Images can be loaded into any of the image memories. They are referenced by numbers 0, 1, 2, or 3. A typical command sequence would be:

LOAD/IMAGE galaxy 0 ! load an image in channel 0
DISPLAY/CHANNEL 0 ! display memory channel 0

The most important commands associated with handling the image memories are:

LOAD/IMAGE - load an image into image memory
GET/IMAGE - read an image from the image memory
GET/CURSOR - read pixel values of displayed image
DISPLAY/CHANNEL - display the image in the selected channel
CLEAR/CHANNEL - erase contents of an image channel
SET/SPLIT - enable split screen
CLEAR/SPLIT - disable split screen
ZOOM/CHANNEL - zoom in integer steps 1 to 8
SCROLL/CHANNEL - scroll the image
BLINK - blink between two different image memories
SHOW/CHANNEL - show status of image channel
