Gilderfluke&Co BR-ANA Analog Output Smart/Dumb Brick - Manual (Page 37)

You can tell when an Ease-In is being performed by the Heartbeat jump-
ing to a speed twice normal. Once all outputs have dropped out of Ease-In
mode, the heartbeat will return to its regular rate.
Which outputs have been set to use the Ease-In Feature is shown under
the column labeled ʻEIʼ. Outputs which will be Eased In are shown by the let-
ter ʻYʼ. All other channels will be unaffected by the Ease-In.
The Ease-In only affects the sixteen on-board analog outputs from the Br-
ANA. All the data output on DMX-512 or Z-Buss port to the Z-Bricks are un-
affected.
F) Numbering System:
This toggle is used to select between HEXadecimal, Decimal or percent-
age numbering systems for display and entries. When the Br-ANA prompts
you for a numeric entry, you will need to enter a HEXadecimal or Decimal
number, depending on this setting.
J) Output to Test & Adjust:
This command is used to set the output address that will be used by the
'Test Output', 'Set Analog Endpoints', 'Force output to a Value', ʻset Min/Max/
forced using keypadʼ, and 'set PowerOn Defaults' commands. If the output
address selected is one of the sixteen on the Br-ANA, then an arrow will ap-
pear to the left of it on the screen. In the eight bit resolution example screen
above you can see this arrow pointing to output #1, which happens to be
addressed at address ʻ001ʼ. Since some of the adjustments can affect chan-
nels that are only transmitted through the DMX-512 and Z-Brick outputs, the
address can be set to anywhere between 0 and 511 (or 1-512).
If the AutoDownload file is a v1.1 or later, the FigureName and Output-
Name will be displayed just below the ʻTest Outputʼ command.
K) Test Output:
When toggled to ʻTest One Outputʼ, the single output selected by the
'Output to Test & Adjust' command will be ramped up and down. The ramp
time is about 5 seconds. The time the output dwells at each extreme is
about one second.
When pressed a second time, this command will toggle to ʻTest All Out-
putsʼ. All the outputs will be ramped between their two extremes. The ramp
