Gilderfluke&Co 'Smart' Brick Animation Control System - Manual (Page 72)

TRACK# will put a configuration menu on the screen. When this
mode is entered by any Smart Brick Brain or Digital Audio
Repeater card on the same serial network, it disables all of the
other serial commands on all the other cards in the system.
If at any point you enter a command and have yet to enter
any other characters, you can leave the command by hitting
the ape or key. If you have already entered
some characters, the ape key can be used to erase all
of the characters you have entered so far. The key
can be used to erase just the last character entered. If you try to
enter more characters than the command calls for, the extra
keystrokes will ‘roll’ any additional input. Hitting the key
will tell the Rack Smart Brick Brain to accept your entry as typed. If
the entry is invalid, the Rack Smart Brick Brain will beep annoying-
ly and ask for the same input again.
The ape key or can be used to redraw
the screen at any time. If you want to keep a hard copy printout
of the current configuration of any screen, you should hit either of
these keys while saving the text on your computer. This file can
then be printed out at any time.
If you ever need to set the Smart Brick Brain back to its default
settings (9600 baud, address 00H, and no parity), you can do
so by powering down the card, and then holding the ‘MANUAL’
button as you power it back up. The default serial port configura-
tion settings will be reloaded and the Rack Smart Brick Brain will
wait for you to enter configuration and exit again before normal
operation is restored. No other configuration settings will be af-
fected.
All of the ‘show specific’ configuration settings can be down-
loaded from the PC•MACs to the Smart Brick Brain. These are all of
the settings that are normally set in the ‘Show Setup’ menu. No
other settings in the Smart Brick Brain will be affected.
Unless the second serial port is being used, entering entering
