Parallel Port Setup Menu
The Parallel Port Setup menu is accessed by pressing the
SETUP button on the front panel for longer than 0.5 second
while no disc is loaded (the front panel display should show
No Disc.) The front panel display will then show Parallel Preset.

The Parallel Port provides for one factory default assignment
“memory” called Preset (see table on page 41), and two user-
definable assignable memories, Profile 1 and Profile 2. Preset
is not alterable. Pressing the LEFT or RIGHT cursor keys
will
step through the three memories.

Initially, the two Profile memories are empty. To assign
commands to the inputs, press MARK/ENTER ; the front
panel will display then show the current assignment to Input 1
(initially Not Used).
Not Used
P. Input 1
The command to be assigned to Input 1 can be selected from
those available (see the first column in the Parallel Control
table on page 41) by stepping through the list with the UP or
DOWN cursor keys. It is not necessary to press MARK/ENTER
to confirm the assignment; when the required command is
displayed, the next input/output may be selected with the LEFT
or RIGHT cursor keys.
The Parallel Port outputs (tallies) may be assigned in the same
way; Output 1’s assignment will be displayed by a RIGHT cursor
key press from Input 5.
The default command set in the Preset memory may be
inspected in the same way, but the UP/DOWN cursor keys are
non-functional.
The Parallel Port Setup menu will automatically time-out if no
button is pressed for approx. 10 seconds; any changes to the
Profile memories will be saved at this time. Furthermore, the
UDP-89 will always “wake up” after a power-down with the last-
used Profile in use.
Remote Control – Serial Port
The rear panel RS232 Port provides serial control of virtually
every machine function, parameter and setting.
This section of the manual provides details of the port
parameters and an abridged serial command list, which includes
the main machine functions. The full RS232 protocol is beyond
the scope of this manual, but can be referenced or downloaded
as a .pdf file at www.hhb.co.uk.
Pinout
The rear panel connector is a D9M. The pinout is shown in the
table:
