Pattern Generator

Pattern Generator is a lightweight Adobe Air-based application designed specifically for helping you test your monitors using different patterns. The tool comes packed with a simple web browser that you can use for surfing on the Internet.

The utility adopts a ribbon-like GUI just like the one implemented by Microsoft Word which allows you to quickly discover its features. There’s no support for a help manual but the dedicated parameters look easy to decode, so you are not going to invest a lot of time into the entire process.

Pattern Generator gives you the possibility to make use of several modes for testing your monitor, namely simple and HD color bars, white signal, as well as crosshatch. You can activate the full screen mode with a single click.

Aside from testing your monitor, the application also gives you the possibility to access websites directly from its main window. Pattern Generator sports a multi-tabbed environment so you can keep different webpages opened while navigating on the Internet.

Basic functions, like go back or forward, refresh the page, stop the loading process, and access the homepage, are on the feature list. What’s more, the web browser keeps a history with all your accessed webpages and lets you create bookmarks.

What’s more, Pattern Generator offers support for an additional set of utilities that help you automatically find out images on a specific webpage, generate a thumbnail preview, and save all pictures to a location on your computer.

You can also activate a security measure in order to prevent other users from checking the content of your web surfing. The tool automatically applies a blur effect to the current webpage and allows you to view only a small rectangular-shaped selection area.

Pattern Generator delivers a simple software solution for helping you test your monitors. The web browser can be used as a great starting point for rookies before switching to other advanced programs.
