time, havenÕt you? The yellow LED on the ASSIGN button will turn
ÔOFFÕ.
If attached to a PC¥MACs System and the ÔQuick ChannelsÕ op-
tion under the ÔPreferencesÕ pulldown is ÔONÕ, if the output channel
you have selected has never before been used, it will be used to
create a new eight bit analog or digital channel.
If you have pressed the ASSIGN button and decide that you donÕt real-
ly want to assign anything, it can be canceled by pressing either ALT./REV.
or Unassign and then the blue ÔassignmentÕ button for any unassigned
channel. If no other buttons are pushed, this button will cancel itself after
five seconds.
Unassign: As you would probably expect, this button is used to clear an as-
signment you have previously made to any of the input ports on the con-
sole. To use it:
1) Momentarily press the Unassign button. Its yellow LED will light and
the LED displays will change to show the assigned channel numbers.
This shows that the console is now in Unassign mode.
2) Choose which of the previously assigned inputs you would like to
clear. Momentarily press that inputÕs blue button. Both the LEDs on
the selected inputÕs blue button and the yellow LED on the Unassign
button will go out.
If you have pressed the Unassign button and decide that you donÕt
really want to Unassign anything, it can be canceled by momentarily
pressing the blue ÔassignmentÕ button for any unassigned input. If no other
buttons are pushed, this button will cancel itself after five seconds.
Once you have the Micro Console assigned as you like it, you can take a Ôsnap-
shotÕ of the current configuration, name it, and save it for later retrieval. To do this,
select the ÔSave Console PresetÕ command from the RealTime pulldown menu in
PC¥MACs. This will ask you for a name for this new preset (or you can use a name
from the list of ÔstandardÕ names you have previously entered). To retrieve any con-
sole preset that you have saved, you can select it from the ÔCurrent ConsoleÕ
popup on the main screen or from the ÔLoad Console PresetÕ command under the
ÔRealTimeÕ pulldown menu. Either of these will instantly load the console with your
previously saved console preset.
The Micro Console is attached to PC¥MACs through the Console Serial Port on
the Smpte Card. This link runs at 250 KBaud using RS-422 drivers and receivers. For
most short wire lengths, standard RJ-11 modular telephone wire can be used. If the
distance is great, then a shielded twisted pair cable may be needed. Please refer to
the section of this manual covering the Smpte Card for details on this connection.
