ÒaÓ (track#) Enter Interactive Echo Mode:
This command puts the one Brick Brain addressed by the TRACK# into this mode while taking all
other Brick Brains out of this mode. This is a special mode which lets you play with the command struc-
ture of the Smart Brick System and get an echo of all commands in plain English. This form of echo
should normally be used only while manually manipulating the system as it can take a relatively long
time to echo the 20 to 30 ASCII characters most commands will return when in this mode. During this re-
sponse time, no additional commands should be given.
When in this mode, all commands are echoed by the one Brick Brain which was addressed by the
TRACK# used when this mode was entered. This means that any command will be echoed, even if the
command is being sent to a nonexistent Brick Brain.
EXAMPLE: to put Brick Brain 00 into SETUP ECHO mode:
a 0 0
TRACK 00 Setup Mode Selected
EXAMPLE: a 'START GLOBAL' command will echo:
'GLOBAL START'

ÒcÓ (track#) Enter Global Echo Mode:
This command puts the one Brick Brain addressed by the TRACK# into this mode while taking all
other Brick Brains out of it. The one Brick Brain which is in this mode will echo all non-track-specific com-
mands accepted by the system. This type of echo can be used in an automated system to assure that
the Smart Brick System has received any non-track-specific command. Note that since only one Brick
Brain in the system is in this mode at a time, that this form of echo only verifies the operation of this one
Brick Brain and no other parts of the system.
EXAMPLE: to put Brick Brain 00 into GLOBAL ECHO mode:
c 0 0
EXAMPLE: a 'START GLOBAL' command Ô u Õ will echo the actual character used to select it Ô uÕ.
