mand key:
1) Momentarily press the ALT./REV. button. The word ÔaltÕ will appear in the upper line of the
display if the Togglodyte is in analog mode, or ÔrevÕ if in digital mode.
If you need to remove the alternate/reverse mode from any of the programming con-
soleÕs inputs, just repeat the above step.
Analog/Digital: The Togglodyte can be used in either digital input or analog input modes. This but-
ton is used to toggle between these two modes. To use this command:
1) Momentarily press the Analog/Digital button. The display will change to reflect the new
condition of the Togglodyte.
Punch in/Punch out: Once any of the inputs has been assigned, it can temporarily be
Ôpunched outÕ (put into a playback mode, even if PC¥MACs is programming a show) or
Ôpunched inÕ (put back into active mode). When it is punched out, data will be fed through
the Togglodyte from the programming console input (when operating in Console Mode), the
1/4 J6 input (when operating in J6 mode), or the incoming DMX-512 data stream (when oper-
ating in DMX-512 mode) to the outputs. In this way you can monitor the programmed data
which is being sent to a figure. To use this command:
1) You just momentarily press the Punch in/Punch out to punch it in or out. The word ÔPoutÕ
will appear on the display to show that a channel has been punched out (a digital func-
tion will have itÕs assigned bit numbers changed to ÔxÕs as well).
If you punch the analog in or out while PC¥MACs is recording a show and the AUTO INBE-
TWEEN function has been turned ÔONÕ, PC¥MACs will automatically remove any jump that
might have been created at the punch points.
Setup: This button is used to adjust various settings used in the Togglodyte. This command is not
available if the Togglodyte is already in ASSIGN mode, or if it is running the Sequencer. To use
this command:
1) Press the Setup button. The currently setting to be adjusted will be shown on the the
LCD display.
2) To select any other setting, rotate the analog input knob. The settings will scroll by as
you do.
3) To actually adjust the settings, the Setup: select next and Setup: select last buttons are
used
1 .
4) To exit the Setup mode, just press the Setup button again.
The settings that can be adjusted through the Setup mode are:
1) Operating Mode:
a) Programming Console: For use with a PC¥MACs system. The
Togglodyte acts as a single channel programming console. For the
specifications of the 1/4 J6 cabling, see the other sections of this
manual.
b) 1/4 J6: For use with smaller animation systems or connection right
at the digital outputs from a PC¥MACs system. The digital 1/4 J6
output from the animation system is attached to the ÔinputÕ on the
Togglodyte (optionally), and the figure is attached to the 1/4 J6
output from the Togglodyte (optionally). DMX-512 is transmitted by
the Togglodyte on each frame when operating in this mode. The
wire between the Togglodyte and the PC¥MACs system (specifically
