2.2 Multi-Key Commands
In addition to the standard front panel controls detailed in 2.1, the Aurora has been programmed so that
extended functionality is available through the use of multi-key combinations, or by pressing a button
down while AC power is applied. The sections below detail these key combinations and the firmware
required for each to operate.
Power Up State
This command changes the power up state of the Aurora from STANDBY (the default) to ON. In
STANDBY mode, when AC power is applied, the POWER button must be pressed before the unit will
become operational. In ON mode, when AC power is applied the Aurora will be ready to use. ON is
the ideal setting when a single power switch is used to turn on an equipment rack.
To activate, hold the POWER button while connecting AC power. PLEASE NOTE: After the mode
is changed the unit must be put into standby mode to save this setting before power is removed again.
This function requires firmware revision 11 or higher in order to operate.
Restore Defaults
This command returns the Aurora to its factory default condition. SYNC SOURCE, ROUTING,
TRIM, AES states, etc. will all be impacted. This is a useful diagnostic step whenever performance
problems are encountered. To activate, press the SAMPLE RATE button while AC Power is applied.
This function requires firmware revision 11 or higher in order to operate.
Verify Firmware Revision
This command will display the current firmware version of the Aurora. In standby mode, press the
TRIM and POWER buttons simultaneously. The LEDs in the PEAK METER display will blink, and
the LED over one or two channels will flash repeatedly. This is the number of the active firmware
version. This function requires firmware revision 13 or higher in order to operate.
Dual Wire Select Mode
This command allows selection of the Dual Wire state for the Aurora’s AES digital channels. In this
Mode, when the METER button is set to “DIGITAL”, Dual Wire In and Dual Wire Out can be enabled
with the TRIM/AES MODE button. To activate, press the TRIM/AES MODE button while AC Power
is applied. To deactivate, turn the Aurora OFF and then back ON with the STANDBY button.
