Gilderfluke&Co Br-miniBrick8 - Manual (Page 40)

What will happen at the end of each show?........
Select any file in the list of shows to be Auto Downloaded. You can then use the
popup at the bottom of the AutoDownload window to set what will happen at the end of
each show. If you set it to jump immediately back to itself, the show will loop back on
itself until another show is started. You can also select whether another show can step
on the one that is currently running.
Do the deed........
Press the ʻDownloadʼ button. This will open a standard Mac/Windows ʻfile saveʼ dia-
log. The default name will be the name of the first show on the AutoDownload list. You
can change the FileName to any other legal name you wish. Press ʻOKʼ to start the
download. If this FileName has been used previously, then PC•MACs will ask if it is OK
to overwrite the older file. Go ahead and overwrite it.
A dialog with a progress bar will show the download taking place. You can cancel it if
you like, but if you do stop the download mid way you may need to power down the Br-
miniBrick8 and reset it before it can be talked to again..
An AutoDownload to a Br-miniBrick8 should take about twenty seconds at most. If
you AutoDownload takes more than a minute, it probably means that you are sending
more channels to the Br-miniBrick8 than you should. Go ahead and cancel, power
down and reset the Br-miniBrick8. Select the appropriate number of channels and try it
again.
Enjoy the results........
Because we set the Brick to play on power up, it will begin playing the show as soon
as the AutoDownload finishes. You should also get a confirmation of the AutoDown-
loadʼs success. If you selected any actions to take place on the two inputs, you can test
these as well.
Did it all fit?........
The Br-miniBrick8s have what is for most applications lots of extra memory space.
Now that you have downloaded the shows, you can check on how much space they
really occupy. Press the ʻReportʼ button. This will open up a report that is generated at
the same time as the AutoDownload file. This report is also saved to your disk under the
same FileName as the AutoDownload file, but with the extension ʻ.setʼ. You can open
this with Windows Notepad.
The value shown as the ʻEprom Endʼ for the last show in the set is the actual last
byte of data sent to the EEprom of the Br-miniBrick8. This will have to be well below
65,536.
Rinse and repeat........
If you want to make any changes in your show, you can close the AutoDownload dia-
log and use PC•MACs to make any more changes in the show. You can then Auto-
Download again at any time. All the settings on the AutoDownload window will be saved
so that you donʼt need to enter them again on the next AutoDownload. The EEprom
memory on the Br-miniBrick8 is rated for at least fifty thousand downloads.
