2 Digitiser Configuration

Below is a set of commands, including sample output, that
should be used to set up the DM24. Commands that should be
typed are

emphasised

.

Bring up terminal mode on the digitiser. This can either be
done with Scream or with the data-terminal command on a
CMG-DCM or CMG-NAM. You should be presented with a
message similar to the following. Hitting a couple of
times will ensure the session is responsive.

2.1 Update firmware, upload infoblocks

Ensure that the firmware on the CMG-DM24 is up to date. At
the time of writing, the latest versions are Bootloader 1030,
DSP 1060, and system 1.03b70. Later versions will be
backwards compatible. You can follow the instructions at:

DM24mk3/support

Also upload an info block (or two blocks if you have a two-
instrument digitiser). Instructions are at:

blocks/support

2.2 System identity

Now, set the system identity. This gives the System and
Stream IDs of the generated GCF data.

If you have a 2-instrument CMG-DM24, you should enable a
second serial number for the second instrument. This is
required otherwise the 2

nd

info block will not be emitted by the

digitiser. This is achieved with the “serial2” command.
