sent to, and the ÔspeedÕ that is used for the MIDI Ôkey downÕ and Ôkey upÕ commands. The de-
fault MIDI ÔspeedÕ is 64. A value of one is the slowest possible key up or down speed. A value of
127 gives the fastest possible key speed. A ÔspeedÕ value of zero will turn off a note, even on a
MIDI Ôkey downÕ message.

String Trigger Channel: This command is used to set the address of the eight bit channel that
is used to trigger the strings which are entered using the next command. Setting this value to
255/0FFh will disable this feature.

Any eight bit channel of animation data can be used to trigger the sending of the strings

which are entered using the next command. There are a total of sixteen strings available.
Each bit triggers one string to be sent on the rising edge, and a second completely different
string on the falling edge. This feature is typically used to send strings that need to be sent too
regularly for using the ÔMonitor ChannelÕ feature.

m) Edit Strings.....: This command brings up the following menu. It is used to enter the strings that

are sent when using the ÔString TriggerÕ feature. There are sixteen possible strings. Each string
can be up to eighteen characters long. One is sent on the rising, and a different one is sent
on the falling edge of each of the eight bits in the String Trigger channel.

EPROM: 123 channels @ 30 FPS / first show is 12345 frames long

In the example above, the strings have been set to send out strings that display the bit

number and the word ÔRisingÕ or ÔFallingÕ.

u) Download configuration: This command is used to save the current configuration of the BS-

Serial Smart Brick through the serial port to a file on your computer. This file can then be
reloaded into this, or any other BS-Serial Smart Brick. To use this command, you first invoke it,
then following the instructions, you set your computer to receive a string of ASCII characters.
You then press any key to tell the BS-Serial Smart Brick to send out it's configuration. When it
has finished, you then tell your computer to stop saving characters, and then hit any key to
tell the BS-Serial Smart Brick to redraw the screen.

o) Reload Default Configuration: This command reloads the default configuration to the BS-

Serial Smart Brick. This will overwrite any configuration data which was in the BS-Serial.

Upload configuration: This command (which doesn't appear on the menu) is the compliment
of the Download Configuration command. To invoke it, all you need to do is tell your modem
program to send the file saved by the 'download' command back to the BS-Serial Smart Brick.
This will automatically invoke the upload command and store the incoming data.
