Т/У (group) Select Show (Rack Smart Brick Brain Only):
Up to 63 (255 with a Rack Smart Brick Brain) different animated shows can be stored on a single
Smart Brick System. These commands can be used to select an individual show on the selected Brick
Brain(s). Individual shows can be requested with SHOW# requests with a range of 01 to 3Fh (01 to FFH
with a Rack Smart Brick Brain). Once a show is selected, it will be played on the next start (the start can
come from a serial port command, a hardware input command, or at the end of the normal countdown
between shows if the Brick Brain is cycling. When it has finished playing the requested show (or sequence
of shows), you have the option of letting the Brick Brain return to what would have been the next show
had there not been a special request made.
If a show selection has been made inadvertently, it can be cleared by sending a request for SHOW#
00 at any time before it begins playing. Show requests from the serial port have the highest priority in the
Smart Brick System.

ÓÓ (track#) (Delay Reload) Set Delay:
This command allows the user to adjust the base time for the countdown function. The value en-
tered as the DELAY RELOAD is the number of seconds (01 to 99) to be used as the base when starting
delays. With the thumbwheel set to 1, the delay would be the exact number of seconds you entered as
the DELAY RELOAD. With the thumbwheel set to Ф2Х, then the delay would be exactly double the time you
entered. The multipliers for the various settings of the thumbwheel switch along with the delays you
would get with a DELAY RELOAD of 15 seconds are as follows:
thumbwheel switch delay multiplier delay w/ 15 second reload
1 1 15 seconds
2 2 30 seconds
3 4 1 minute
4 8 2 minutes
5 20 5 minutes
6 40 10 minutes
7 80 20 minutes
8 120 30 minutes
9 240 1 hour
A 12 3 minutes
B 16 4 minutes
C 60 15 minutes
D 100 25 minutes
E 160 40 minutes
F 180 45 minutes

Т=У (track#) (address) Set Brick Address:
The address being sent to the Smart Bricks from a Brick Brain can be altered by using this command.
This can be used to send a specific address to all of the Smart Bricks to set all of the outputs to the val-
ues stored at this address, or to alter the address counters of an internally or externally clocked animated
show while it is running. Using this command on LaserDisk or SMPTE clocked shows while they are running
will have minimal effect, as the address will go back to what it should have been as soon as the next
