to form one frame. Each field contains
half the number of the total amount of
lines. The fields are written in “pairs”,
causing line flicker
Last Status The settings last chosen by the
customer and read and stored in RAM
or in the NVM. They are called at start-
up of the set to configure it according
the customers wishes
