A2 Defining Full Screen Modes
The OmniView features can be displayed in a full screen environment, as well as within Windows. Each
window can be individually displayed as full screen. There are also three ‘combi’ modes which each
show several windows. These can be customized.
The full screen layouts are defined in a file called full_screen_layouts.ini, which is located within
c:\program files\omnitek\omnitek. This ini file is a standard text file, and should be edited with a text
editor, and the top lines of the file contain details on the formats used, in case you wish to edit one of the
standard formats, or to add a new layout.
Here are some examples from the definition file to help explain the possible entries. The example is the
definition of an ‘RGB combi’. The display has three separate sections. Across the top you will get RGB
parade type 2 (type 1 is the narrow display, and type 2 is the wider display). Below this on the left you get
the vectorscope – although display of RGB waveforms and the vectorscope at the same time are only
valid for an OmniView system that does not also include OmniGen. At the bottom right you get the mini-
pic display.
The first section defines the name of this display view, and sets global parameters to be used in all panes
of the display.
