- Front Panel Display Messages -
There are a number of different messages that the AB/DR-3000 can display on its front. Some of
these you will see regularly as the repeater operates. Others you may never see.
The ÔSelectÕ digit lights to show what the two other digits are trying to tell you. The possible conditions
are:
u= Unit Address: The serial port address of a repeater is displayed for two seconds when it is first
turned on. The address is shown as HEXadecimal numbers, as this is most often the form it is
needed in (for entering configuration or serial port commands).
n= Number of Mono Spiels: The number of messages stored on a repeater is displayed two sec-
onds immediately after the unit address (see above). The ÔnÕ indicates that the spiels are
recorded in Mono. Values from one to ninty-nine will be shown as decimal numbers. If more
than ninty-nine spiels are loaded then HEXadecimal numbers will be used.
o= Number of Stereo Spiels: (Note the ÔSÕ looks exactly like the number Ф5Х on the display) The
number of messages stored on a repeater is displayed for two seconds immediately after the
unit address (see above). The ÔSÕ indicates that the spiels are recorded in Stereo. Values from
one to ninty-nine will be shown as decimal numbers. If more than ninty-nine spiels are loaded
then HEXadecimal numbers will be used.
c= In Serial Port Configuration Mode: This indicates that the configuration mode has been en-
tered by the repeater. The two digit display will continue to operate normally.
P= Playing a Stereo message: The number of the spiel appears on the two digit display. If up to
99 spiels are recorded on a repeater, then they are shown as decimal numbers. Above this
they are shown as HEXadecimal numbers.
L= Playing a mono spiel through the Left output: If the Right side is also playing, then this indi-
cates that the Left side was the most recently started. The number of the spiel appears on the
two digit display. If up to ninty-nine spiels are recorded on a repeater, then they are shown as
decimal numbers. Above this they are shown as HEXadecimal numbers.
r= Playing a mono spiel through the Right output: If the Left side is also playing, then this indi-
cates that the Right side was the most recently started. The number of the spiel appears on
the two digit display. This will always be displayed when you start both left and right spiels simul-
taneously, as the repeater checks and starts the left side prior to the right. If up to ninty-nine
spiels are recorded on a repeater, then they are shown as decimal numbers. Above this they
are shown as HEXadecimal numbers.
E= Error Messages: The number of the error appears on the two digit display. An error message
will overwrite anything else that might have been on the display. It will then go away after one
second. Some error messages can appear regularly (depending on your configuration), while
others you hopefully will never see.
The repeaters start the left side before the Right. This means that if you are using the re-
peater for two mono audio tracks, and commands arrive simultaneously (as when using the
same binary bits to select and start messages, and using the left/right split to decide where
each goes), the error message for the right side will take precedence over those for the Left.
