Contemporary Research 11 232-MTA Mono TV Tuner

Character Generator Commands

The CG option is no longer available for the 232-MTA, this section is provided for reference on earlier models

with the option installed. The CG supported an on-screen display that is 28 columns (characters) across by 11

rows (lines) down. An imaginary cursor represents the current screen write position. Writing text automatically

increments the cursor to the next character space. The character text is always white.

TM=<label mode>

Sets on-screen channel label mode.

0=None

1=Alpha only

of the screen for about 10 seconds after each channel change.

'>TM=2' Sets channel mode to display channel number only.
