Gilderfluke&Co 'Smart' Brick Animation Control System - Manual (Page 161)

The decimal points on the ‘Minutes/Seconds/Frames’ display
are used to show a variety of conditions in the Smart Brick System:
Data Error: This light will flash when the Heads Up Display re-
ceives a bad packet of data from the Smart Brick Brain.
You should almost never see this one flash. If you do, it
means that there is something wrong with the connec-
tion between the Smart Brick Brain and the Heads Up
Display, and by implication, that the data getting to the
Smart Bricks is also suspect.
Display Update: This flashes every time the Smart Brick Brain
updates the entire system. If it is not flashing, then there is
definitely something wrong with the connection between
the Smart Brick Brain and the Heads Up Display, and by
implication, that the data getting to the Smart Bricks is
also suspect.
Heartbeat: This should flash in exact synchronization with
the ‘Heart’ on the front of the Smart Brick Brain. If it doesn’t,
or if it flashes irregularly, then there is probably some-
thing wrong with the connection between the Smart Brick
Brain and the Heads Up Display, and by implication,
that the data getting to the Smart Bricks is also suspect.
Advancing Frames: This is lit whenever the Smart Brick
System is advancing frames. If any of the Smart Bricks in
the system are configured to ‘disable the outputs when
stopped’, they will only have their outputs enabled when
this LED is lit. The number of ‘heartbeats’ that this LED will
stay on after the system stops running a show can be
set when configuring the Smart Brick Brain to anywhere
from one to two hundred fifty-six beats.
Global Record: This LED is lit only when Dipswitch #6 in the
Smart Brick Brain is ‘ON’ to enable recording on the Smart
Bricks and the system is advancing frames. When this
LED is off, it shows you that the reason the record LEDs on
