- AB-100 AudioBrick Serial Commands -

"a" (TRACK#)

Enter Setup Echo Mode:

This command puts the one card addressed by the TRACK# into this

mode while taking all other cards out of this mode. This is a special mode
that lets you play with the command structure of the digital audio system
and get an echo of all commands accepted in plain English. This form of
echo should normally be used only while manually manipulating the sys-
tem. When this mode is entered, 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 response time, no additional commands should be
given.

When in this mode, address specific commands are echoed by the card

to which the command was sent. Non-track-specific commands are
echoed by the card that was specified by the TRACK# when this mode was
entered. This means that any track specific command sent to a nonexistent
card will not be echoed, while any non-track-specific command (like a
COCKED command) will be echoed even when no card in the system is
actually effected by the command.

EXAMPLE: to put card 00 into SETUP ECHO mode:

Exit Setup Echo Mode:

This command takes all cards in the system out of SETUP ECHO MODE.

EXAMPLE: to take any and all cards out of SETUP ECHO mode:

"c" (TRACK#)

Enter Global Echo Mode:

This command puts the one card addressed by the TRACK# into this

mode while taking all other cards out of this mode. The one card that is in
this mode will echo all non-track-specific commands accepted by the sys-
tem. This type of echo can be used in an automated system to ensure that
the digital audio system has received any non-track-specific command.
Note that since only one card in the system is in this mode at a time, this
form of echo only verifies the operation of this one card and no other parts
of the system.

EXAMPLE: to put card 00 into GLOBAL ECHO mode:

c 0 0

EXAMPLE: a 'Start All' command will echo:

"d"

Exit Global Echo Mode:

This command takes all cards in the system out of GLOBAL ECHO MODE.

EXAMPLE: to take any and all cards out of GLOBAL ECHO mode:

"e" (TRACK#)

Enter Echo All Mode:

This command puts the one card addressed by the TRACK# into this

mode while taking all other cards out of this mode. The one card that is in
ECHO ALL MODE echoes all characters sent to the digital audio system
through the serial port. This type of echo can be used to verify that the digi-
tal audio system has received all characters sent to it. Note that since only
one card in the system is in this mode at a time, this form of echo only veri-
