range, and sample rate LEDs will all flash).

A-Net Slot Display

Since the capacity of the Pro64 network could be as high as 64 A‑Net Slots,

Pro64 hardware I/O devices need a way of routing a selected hardware

channel to a selected network Slot. In the upper left corner of the front panel

of a Pro64 I/O device, the A‑Net Slot display and its associated inc/dec buttons

are used to select a range of Slots that the hardware device will address.

The A-Net Slot display and its inc/dec buttons are used to set the base Slot

for a Pro64 I/O module. The 6416dio has separate displays for its inputs and

outputs.

The A‑Net Slot display will show the base number that is associated with the

first hardware input or output channel on an I/O device. The actual number

seen in this display will be determined by the physical I/O on the device. That

is, an 8‑channel device will display a different set of available starting points

than a 16‑channel device (see the following tables).

To select an A‑Net Slot range, use the inc/dec buttons below the display. Press

one of the buttons until the desired base Slot range is displayed, and then

press the

ntEr

button. To return to the current selection without making a

change, press the

anCEl

button.

The following tables show examples of the channel‑to‑Slot correlation

for Pro64 Series modules in a network running at the 48kHz sample rate.

The numbers in the Slot column will appear in the A‑Net Slot display. The

numbers seen to the right of each gray base Slot number correspond to the

channel buttons on the front panel of the interface.
