Delay correction Allows a delay correction to be entered, to compensate for ambient
temperature. With Delay Corrn set to 'Off', the default temperature is set to
20
°
C. Setting Delay Corrn to 'Manual' allows a user defined value to be
entered, from -20
°
C to 50
°
C, in 1
°
C increments. If Delay Corrn is set to 'Midi',
then the temperature value can be taken from a temperature probe connected
to a 388. If the 355 is used with a single 388, then the 355 MIDI input should
be attached to the MIDI output of the 388. The 388 should be set to
MIDI:XMIT MET.
Temperature Sets the ambient temperature manually, if Delay Corrn is set to 'Manual'.
Delay units This selects the units used for displaying and adjusting delays. 'ms' represents
milliseconds, 'ft' represents feet (and feet and inches for short delays), and 'm'
represents metres. 24, 25 and 30fps represent delays using 24, 25 and 30
frames per second respectively. Note that for longer delays, the resolution of
the parameter wheel is reduced to match the number of decimal places
displayed,. Short delays will adjust in approximately 11us increments, whilst
longer delays will adjust in 100us increments.
The limit units screen allows the units of limiter threshold to be changed
between dBu and mV, depending on your amplifier specification. Limit units
The Lock Out mode prevents access to editing functions on the input and
output channels. Since this utility is not password-protected, Lock Out can
still be accessed and turned off. This mode is intended only as a precaution
against accidental adjustments, and not as a tamper-proof security lock
For other security details, refer to section 17.0; System Security.

Here, you can select the MIDI channel that the unit is assigned to (Channels 1
through 16 are available). MIDI channel
The selection of this mode sets what the FDS-355 may transmit on it's MIDI
OUT socket, and depends on the use of the FDS-355 in the system. The
possible selections are:
OFF
The OFF mode prevents MIDI messages being transmitted.
PROGRAM
The PROG mode enables the unit to transmit only MIDI program changes.
MASTER
The MASTER mode transmits all control changes to other devices on the same
MID channel. (For paralleling two FDS-355s, for example).
THRU
The THRU mode allows the FDS-355 to pass incoming data on to it's MIDI
OUT socket. (As required by the BSS MIDI network used in the FPC-900r and
Soundbench systems).
PC PORT
The PC PORT mode allows the unit to be connected directly to a PC via the
RS-232 port.
