The XDSG mode is the GRAZE (channel grazing) display
(Figure 7). The display contains three rows of information
at the top of the screen that have been formatted for easy
reading. They contain the following XDS packet informa-
tion:

When an XDS display mode has been selected, the infor-
mation is displayed as the appropriate packets are received.
The display remains on-screen as long as valid XDS data
continues to be received. If the 16-Second Erase Timer is
enabled (the default condition), the XDS display is erased
when no valid XDS data has been received for 16 Seconds.
If subsequent XDS data is received with displayable pack-
ets, that information reappears on the screen. XDS data re-
covery can be active in the XDS display mode.

Figure 7. XDSG (Graze) Mode Sample Display
Figure 8. XDSF Mode Sample Display
The XDSF mode is the FULL (information) display (Figure
8). This display shows the same information as the GRAZE
display; however, this display adds the program type as well
the first four program description rows (if transmitted). Al-
though XDS defines eight program description rows, the
first four are identified as containing the most important in-
formation. The display of Program Description is limited
to the first four rows. This limitation occurs because:
1. Eight rows would obscure much of the screen.
2. More than four rows are not likely to be sent due to the
time required for transmission.
Because 15 scan lines per row mode are being used, rows
10–13 appear at the bottom of the screen.

The XDS display mode is turned off by selecting a different
display mode.
Display Erase and Autoblanking
The display is erased in the Text mode by the Start Text
command (but the box is maintained) and in the CAPTION
mode by the Erase Displayed Memory (EDM) command.
The non-displayed memory can be erased by the Erase Non-
displayed Memory (ENM) command.
Four other events can also cause the display to be erased.
1. The first action is a change in the display mode, such
as from CC1 to T1 or CC1 to XDSF. A change in
display mode clears the memory and the display.
2. A loss of video lock, such as on a channel change, can
cause the screen to be cleared. The current active
display mode is not changed. For example, if CC1 is
selected and ON before the channel change, the device
will remain in the CC1/ON state after the channel
change.
3. The third action that clears the displayed memory is
when the autoblanking circuit is activated. The
autoblanking circuit monitors the presence of a Line
