Interesting Shkval pic

[Pavlos]

Hello,

 

I'm not sure what keyword to search the manual with in order to find answer to a question I have, so I would like to ask the kind souls here, as some of you will surely know.

 

Sometimes I get this screen on the Shkval. Initially I thought it does it when it fires up for the first time, but sometimes it may also do it midflight, and I wonder why..Anyone know what this is for?

 

 

Thanks.

I believe someone said it was the Shkval recalibrating if I remember correctly.

Does anyone remember a similar screen being on in the night when TV 'stopped'?

 

Aaaahhh the good old days (UK)

Yes. As far as I know it's the Shkval recalibration screen. Sometimes appear about 2-4sec.

You still see it on very late at night, rarely though, i saw it on BBC1, with an automated woman's voice saying the date/time every 30 secs or so, just like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrzXVBlERXA

It means you should stop playing and go to bed. Your regularly schedule death and destruction has gone off the air until tomorrow morning. :P

 

Yeah, seriously though, its just a filler screen while it calibrates. :)

This calibration screen... isn't it linked with power? Maybe it was power drop or brake for short time.

 

 

Yea I remember this calibration in my TV. Not good times :D

Hahahaha, for me it meant 'aaaaaaaaages till cartoons come on'

 

I still remember our old TV with 5 'clicky' buttons on the front, and manual tuning for each seperate channel lol.

Clunk!Clunk!Clunk!Clunk!Clunk!Clunk! hahah

 

Then things got advanced and the 5 buttons had a cord so you could keep your fat ass on the lounge... omg technology.

 

Anyone remember the shrinking white dot after station close ?:D

Damn, I remember both the test screen and the tv with clicky buttons that meant you had to get some exercise by getting up to change tv channels.

 

IR FTMFW :)

Oh god I remember that.

 

I thought I was young but when I told some younger relatives of this time when TV turned off at night they laughed at me :huh:.

[CE_Mikemonster]

Hahaha yeah the shrinking dot?

 

And later on we had the consoles you had to tune into lol, priceless. That was what Channels 5 to 7 were FOR lol (only 4x terrestrial TV channels over here back then :()

Back on topic: You overloaded the engines, not enough torque to properly drive the generator so it drops out for a split second and the Shkval resets itself...
