Def: A potentiometer is a variable-value resistor - an electrical part that can change how much current it allows to pass, usually by the turn of a knob. Most knobs on electrical equipment are of this sort. I did, indeed, mean a knob that would change the vertical shape of the screen, not by the number of lines, but by the height of the physical area that the image is allowed to occupy. As I wrote earlier, I had hoped that the "missing line" problem was a problem with this adjustment. <SNIP> >It has it's own "special" challenges that are somewhat interesting... > All SurvPC equiment has this appeal - it's one of the reasons why we work with it, isn't it? :-) Anthony J.
