For example, to change from a DEQ at address 1 to a
DEQ at address 201, you would move the cursor to the
first digit (the 100's place), using the left cursor and then
press the UP cursor twice. The DEQ number in the
status area would then read 201. Figure 6.8 illustrates
this procedure.
However, the curve displayed in the Curve Area has not
changed. This is because you have not yet entered the
new DEQ number, and the flashing cursor under the
active DEQ number in the Status Area serves as a
reminder that you have not done so. To select the new
DEQ , push the Softkey labeled ENTER. Notice that the
cursor is no longer flashing and the active DEQ label in
the Status Area is now in normal video.
Also, the Softkey labels appropriate to the active menu
have replaced the Name in the Softkey/Message Area.
The curve now displayed in the Curve Area is the curve
for the new DEQ (unless the DEQ address you have
selected is not present on the network) and may be
adjusted as desired by following the procedures
described in the preceding sections. All subsequent
commands will be sent to the DEQ that has the address
DEQ-I & DEQ-II MULTI-UNIT SYSTEM (CONTINUED)
shown in line 1 of the Status Area. If you try to select a
DEQ address that is not on the network, then the LCD
display will give you a “Device Time-out - Unit Not
Responding”
message and will wait for you to
acknowledge this message by pressing the CANCEL
Softkey.
To summarize the procedure for changing DEQs:
1. Enter the DEQ Select Mode by pressing the DEQ
Select key while in one of the main menus.
2. Use the CURSOR to select the desired DEQ.
3. Press the Softkey labeled ENTER.
One final, and very useful, function of the DEQ Select
button is the Last DEQ Recall feature. This function is
similar to the “last channel recall” feature of many
television remote controls in that it allows you to switch
between the last two active DEQs at the touch of one
button. The Last DEQ Recall feature allows you to
quickly move between two different equalizers without
having to go through the process of selecting new DEQs.
To explore the Last DEQ Recall feature enter the DEQ
Select Mode as described above by pressing the DEQ
Select Button. Now, note the active DEQ number as
displayed in the Status Area and use the cursor keys and
the ENTER Softkey to select a different DEQ as
described above.
Now, reenter the DEQ Select Mode (press the DEQ
Select key). Press the DEQ Select key again and notice
that the Status Area now reflects that the equalizer is set
to the previous DEQ. If the curves in the two DEQs (the
current DEQ and the one you were just on) are different
you will also see that the Curve Area has been updated
to show the new curve. Repeated pressing of the DEQ
Select key will cause the equalizer’s settings to toggle
back-and-forth between the last two active DEQs, just as
a TV remote control’s last channel recall function toggles
between the last two channels the TV was set to receive.
While in the DEQ Select Mode you may use the cursor
keys, as before, to change to new DEQs and still use the
Last DEQ Recall function without first having to exit the
DEQ Select Mode. The equalizer always remembers the
last two active DEQ addresses.
