Rane SR 2 - Manual (Page 6)

SR 2 Configuration Parameters
The SR 2 features a 31-position LED indicator and rotary data encoder with
integrated push switch. The push switch permits control of two independent
parameters: Level 1 when the encoder is rotated normally, and Level 2 when
the encoder is pushed and held while rotating. Each SR 2 ships with four face-
plate inserts: white (w/black logo), white (w/almond logo), almond (w/black
logo) and black (w/white logo).
Auto Lock
Auto Lock
is used in conjunction with the SR’s Encoder Lock pin to disable
the SR encoder. When the Encoder Lock pin is grounded and Auto Lock is
enabled, changes in position of the encoder are ignored by the SR. For ex-
ample, a keyed switch installed next to the SR allows the device to be locked
temporarily so the system volume can not be adjusted.
Knob Turn
When Auto Level is enabled and the encoder is turned normally (without
pushing it in) the LED moves clockwise or counterclockwise one position in
the direction the knob was turned.
Always enable Auto Level when using a Smart Remote with a Rane RPM
device.
Knob Push & Turn
When Auto Second Level is enabled and the encoder is held in, the LED
begins flashing and displays the second level until the encoder is released. The
second level is adjusted by turning the encoder knob while continuing to hold
it in.
Polling for Remotes
Ethernet versus Serial Communication
If Smart Remotes are connected to an RPM device, the RPM acts as a data
bridge, allowing communication with the remote through the Ethernet con-
nection to the RPM. Smart Remotes appear beneath the RPM device in the
Live folder of the Project window.
Serial communication takes place through the PC’s COM port, which is
usually RS-232 and therefore must be connected to the SR using an RS-232
(unbalanced data) to RS-485 (balanced data) converter capable of supporting
the desired baud rate. Select the COM port connected to the SR from the list
of available ports when polling for Live devices.
