OFTWARE
If you elect to continue, the value your loaded memory puts into any linked cell on the chosen Graphi-
Q 2 will affect all other linked values as well. If you don’t want this to happen, you must open the Link
Table and remove the appropriate linking.
Loading a preset that changes a linked parametric or sets an FBX filter back to an unset FBX filter will
NOT load a corresponding filter change to linked channels. Linked channel FBX or parametric filters will
remain unchanged unless your reset or manually program a change.
8.3.2.9 Resetting Parameters When Units Are Linked
(See also Section 8.4) Resetting any parameter for any cell linked to another unit of channel will also
change the value of all linked cells (except FBX filters and parametric filters in some instances). For ABS
LINK, all linked cells will be reset to the default parameter values. For REL LINK, parameter values for
linked cells will be decreased by the same amount as occurs by resetting the source cell. For example,
resetting digital delay from 100 ms to the minimum value (1.38 ms) in the source cell will reduce all REL
LINKED cells’ delay times by 98.62 ms.
For GRQ3122 and GRQ3122-S models, REL LINK parameters can be reset separately or simultaneously
for each output. Whether channels are reset separately or together (checking either one or both channel
boxes on the reset screen), the reset procedure for REL LINK will use the channel currently selected on
the main screen as the source cell. IMPORTANT: When resetting REL, make sure the correct source
is selected on the main software screen, if you are resetting just one output channel. Note that FBX
filters can be reset only one unit at a time. Parametric filters can be linked reset in ABS or REL groups,
but the filters of linked units must correspond in position (filter #6, for example) and be set to Parametric
in order to be reset via linking.
Resetting parameter values for linked units, or loading presets to linked units, can create some
complicated scenarios. When in doubt, remove the relevant links, then restore after resetting.
8.3.2.10. Changing EQ Scale and/or High/Low Cut Filter Slope When Linked
For ABS LINK, changing the graphic EQ scale (from 6 to 12 dB or vice versa) will also change the scale
for all linked units’ graphic EQ settings. For REL LINK, all scales will not change when one unit’s scale
is altered. Instead, all changes made will be implemented proportionally according to scale. In other
words, a change of 2 dB on a 12 dB scale will translate to a 1 dB change on a 6 dB scale. The same
rules apply to variations in high and low cut filter slopes, which can be set to either 12 or 24 dB per octave.
8.3.2.11. Front Panel Mode and Linking
Any Graphi-Q under front panel control CANNOT be part of a linked network. Any Graphi-Q2 that is linked,
then changed to front panel control, will be removed from the linked network. The unit will remain unlinked
even if remote control is restored. You must use the Link Table to restore linking to any unit after it is
placed in front panel control and then returned to remote control.
8.3.2.12. Link Table Memory
The setup information for your link table is stored in an .exe file as part of the Remote Software, and is
independent of the memory storage of parameters, etc., which are stored in each individual Graphi-Q2.
Therefore, if you change your serial network setup by reconfiguring Graphi-Q2s, changing the number
of units, etc., your Link Table setup may no longer apply. For example, if you remove the middle unit
in a 3-unit serial chain with Linking enabled, then reboot with only two units in your serial chain, the Link
setup for the “missing” second unit will be applied to the former third (now second) unit. As a precaution,
a warning screen will appear at the next software startup whenever the number or arrangement of linked
units has changed.
8.3.2.13. Speed of Command Execution in Linked Networks
Due to the limitations of the speed of RS-232 communications, there may be some slight delays in
