Section Seven: GRQ2 Remote Software Installation
The Graphi-Q2 models GRQ3121 and GRQ3122 are designed with easy-to-use, familiar, analog-style
front panel controls on the one hand, and computer-based, software driven control on the other. In order
for you to experience the full impressive capability of the Graphi-Q2, however, we recommend using
the GRQ-Remote Software, which opens up a whole new level of programmability. Here are a few of
the control features accessible using the Remote Software:
•
Parametric filters. You can control up to 12 parametric filters per channel, change or combine FBX
filters into parametric filters, etc.
•
Crossover. Adjust slopes and roll-off points for both outputs, and choose filter types.
•
Channel and multiple unit linking. With simple serial connectors, you may link up to 2 sets of
Graphi-Qs, each consisting of up to 8 units (16 channels), that can be controlled from a single
computer. Within each of these networks you can link channels from different units, allowing
common control of any parameter.
•
Increased storage capacity. You can save files of up to 67 different memory configurations,
transfer files from one unit to another, and assign presets to contact closure switches.
•
More control options. High and Low Cut filter slope can be adjusted to 24 or 12 dB/octave.
Compressor/Limiter attack, release, and knee can be adjusted. Auto Setup Mode automates
feedback control even more than before, plus graphs the filters as they are set, and reports the exact
frequencies, depths, and widths of all FBX filters. Password Protection allows you to prevent
unauthorized tampering, but still allow a less sophisticated user to load settings.
•
No cost future-proof upgrading. Your Graphi-Q2 can be updated via a simple connection to the
Sabine web site (www.Sabine.com), whenever firmware and/or software upgrades are announced.
All Graphi-Q2 models come equipped with the hardware and software necessary to run the units via
remote control from a Windows-equipped computer. Your unit should include one CD ROM that
includes the GRQ-Remote Software and the Sabine Upgrade Wizard for future upgrades of your
firmware and/or Remote Software (see Section 8.10.).
7.1. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
1.
PC computer equipped with Pentium processor 100 MHz or faster.
2.
Hard disc with at least 5 MB of available space for program files.
3.
Windows 95 or higher.
4.
SVGA or greater resolution graphic card and monitor.
5.
Recommended minimum monitor resolution: 1024 x 768 pixels (or 800 x 600 pixels for 15 inch
monitors). Monitor display settings need to be set to “small fonts” and 16 bit color as default.
6.
One COM port for a serial connection, with a 16550 or faster COM chip.
7.2. CONNECTIONS
If your computer has a 9-pin
COM port, use a standard 9-
pin male to standard 9-pin
female RS-232 connector,
available from most com-
puter stores (for connecting
multiple GRQ2s, use the
slimmer version of the serial
cable: .625 inches or 15.9
mm maximum width). Con-
nect the computer’s COM
port to the back of the Graphi-
Q RS-232 jack labeled SERIAL IN. For the GRQ3121-S and GRQ3122-S, you may also use the front
panel RS-232 jack. However, make sure that only one serial port is connected, front OR back.
If your computer’s COM port requires a 25-pin connector, use a standard RS-232 25-pin female to
standard 9-pin male computer-store connector. Alternatively, you may use a 25-pin female to
9-pin male adapter with a standard 9-pin to 9-pin connector described above. Do not use any
connectors that are wired for a null modem.
