11 Configuring & Monitoring
System & Load Monitors
An IQ System & Load Monitor such as the SLM-8 provides an IQ System with the capability to monitor the
impedance response of loudspeakers or most any amplifier load and the ability to measure the frequency
response of any line-level or high-level audio output in the system. Once configured, this powerful diagnostic
ability can also operate in a stand-alone mode via the indicators on the front panel of the SLM-8. (See the SLM-
8 Reference Manual for more details.)
11.1 Initializing an SLM-8 Control Block
The first step in initializing an SLM-8 control block (shown below in Figure 11.1) is to set the IQ address and Crown
Bus loop number. This is normally done automatically during a roll call. However, you can set them manually if you
need to configure a system off-line.

IQ Address & Crown Bus Loop: The IQ address number you enter must match the physical IQ address
switch setting on the SLM-8. The Crown Bus loop number must match the physical loop to which the SLM-8 is
wired.
On Line: The phrase “On Line” will appear in the upper right corner of the information area when an SLM-8
is actively connected to and in communication with the IQ System.
Model, Location & Purpose: These three text lines are available for you to include relevant notes about
the unit. Up to 15 characters can be entered on each line.
