If a 2 byte command is received during this ‘Listen Time’, the Mate will cease listening to the PC and
process the received command (See figure 16).
An invalid
command will be ignored
by the Mate. The result of
any valid command will
be shown in the next
seconds’ Status Page.
At this time
commands will only be
sent to the master FX on
any STACK or HUB
stacked system. The slaves
will follow all operational
mode changes of the FX
except AUX ON and
AUX OFF. Only the
masters AUX output can
be controlled at this time.
It is also important to note that a users pressing any of the Mate buttons interrupts both Status
page transmissions and listen time for 2 seconds. A button press will cease all PC communications until
no button has been pressed for 2 seconds.
