sent to the ouput may be adjusted immediately prior to being sent to the output connector.
These features are detailed in the Output Channel Assignment/Mixing/Gain Control section
below.
The DA5320 has two additional features that are available to the user to assist in providing
quality I/O routing. It can be configured to provide V-fades in the event of data errors or
abrupt level changes caused by wiring or routing changes. It can also be configured to syn-
chronize the output timing to match an internal reference that is available to all modules in
the S5000 frame.
Output Grouping
To allow flexibility and convenience, the DA5320 can be configured to group output signals
with multiple channels having their configuration parameters modified simultaneously.
There are three different signal groupings available in the DA5320 that are set under the
output grouping menu .
a. Independent - Each channel’s parameters are set individually.
b. Pair - - Output pairs (as defined by the output settings) have their
parameters set together. When the PAIR mode is active, only the odd
channels will appear as available menu selections when toggling through the
menu.
c. All - - All outputs are simultaneously set for the same parameter. When
the ALL mode is active, toggling through channels on the menu is disabled.
OctaBus™ ID Assignment
To accurately identify the signals being put onto the OctaBus™ from multiple modules hav-
ing eight outputs, each module must have a unique module ID. This module ID is defined
via the menu selection which is available as a submenu from the main menu
item. The default ID for unconfigured modules is (1). If Octabus is not enabled or is not
being utilized, multiple modules in a system having identical Octabus ID’s is acceptable.
Anytime the channel designation requires an OctaBus™ ID, the display will show a decimal
between the last two characters - the next to last character being the OctaBus™ ID and the
last character being the channel number on the module specified by that OctaBus™ ID.
