ÒdÓ Direct Select:
This command is used to switch the 1/4 J6 Port over to selecting 1 of 8 shows directly, instead of
using binary inputs for requesting up to 255 different shows. The DIRECT SELECT is useful when you have
eight or less shows which need to be called up through the 1/4 J6 Port. The 1/4 J6 Port can be wired di-
rectly to up to eight different pushbuttons. When any of these buttons are pressed it will select the ap-
propriate show. The first button pushed will be played at the next START or START LOOPING command,
unless it is overridden by another show request from the serial ports. (The Brain can also be told to start
playing the newly requested show immediately if you tell the Brick Brain to START or START LOOPING on
the input to the 1/4 J-6 port.)
If this mode is off, then up to 255 different shows can be selected through the 1/4 J6 Port. The 1/4
J6 Port can be connected directly to the output of a computer or Animation Control System. If you need
to connect it to pushbuttons, you will need to use diodes or a keyboard with an encoder (available from
Gilderfluke & Company) to encode a binary number to be sent to the 1/4 J6 Port.
As with changes in inputs on the A, B, or PB input, changes on the 1/4 J6 Port can be used to START,
stop, or whatever a Brick Brain. If the DIRECT SELECT option is 'on', then a rising edge is on any new ar-
rival of a new closure, and a falling edge is when all input lines are opened. If the DIRECT SELECTION is
'off', then a rising edge is on any change in the 1/4 J6 Port except for when all of the inputs go open,
which is considered to be a falling edge.

This command allows you to select from the other menus:
1) Main Menu. This brings you back to this menu.

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-
