b) Randomly: If you select this option, then you are asked for the range of shows that you want
to play on this input. Each time this edge is triggered, one of the shows within this range will
be chosen at random and played. As an example of this, if you select a range of shows of ten
to twenty: Show ?? will be played on the first on the first edge, show ?? on the next, etc.. The
randomizer uses a separate counter for each of these inputs. This counts at ten Hertz from the
first show selected through the last and then recycles. When the user selects an input which
has been configured with this option, the Smart Brick Brain uses the current value of this coun-
ter to select and play a next show. If the randomizer played the same show the last time, it will
spin the randomizer another time to try and select another show to play. If after this second
spin, the same show comes up, then it will be played.
c) Normally: The inputs will behave as described above. You can select whether the input will
pause, continue, stop, stop at end, start, start looping, or trigger a tape deck output.

ÒxÓ eXit Setup Mode:
This command is used to exit the setup mode. If you hit this command in error, hitting an <ESC>ape
key will get you back to the setup mode. All of the setup commands which don't take effect immediate-
ly, take effect when the eXit command is entered. This includes things like the BAUD RATE, so you will
have to change the baud rate of the terminal you are using at this time.
For compatibility with other products which might be on the same RS-422 serial network, this com-
mand asks you to enter a ÔYÕ or ÔNÕ. This lets them know that the setup mode has been exited on this
card. If you hit this command by mistake, then you can hit the <ESC>ape key to get back to where you
were before.
All other Audio Repeater cards and Brick Brains in the same serial network have their serial ports dis-
abled while any card in the system is in setup mode. This is the only command to which they will re-
spond. After the initial 'X', all of the other cards wait for a 'Y' or 'N' before they will start accepting other
serial commands again. If you find that you are having trouble communicating with any of the cards in
the system, try entering an ÔXNÕ to trick it into thinking you have exited the configuration mode.
