“DIGITAL” UNIT
This section contains the connections for AES / EBU digital inputs and
outputs on the balanced XLR connection. Digital Input 1 is marked as
1C
while Input
2D
is the
Sync AES/EBU
. The output is an AES/EBU format
male XLR connector.
2
“USB” PORT
USB -B
type data communication port. This port is used to remotely
control the device using a standard PC. Before connecting this port, it is
necessary to connect the device control software contained in the box;
USB drivers are installed at the same time as the software.

SERIAL -1 RS232
SERIAL PORT 1
The Falcon XT features two serial ports for device control via the remote
control software. In this case, Serial-1 is the port selected. The control
features are the same as for the USB control port. Using the
Axel
Universal Software Remoter
control software, you can change the
operating parameters, levels, and compression, as well as the audio
process/processing. Using
Axel Universal Target Address Manager
you can set the machine’s individual address in UECP format, set RDS to
work in UECP-compatible mode or extended mode, and reset any or all
of the RDS service datasets.
Again, using the Universal Target Address Manager, you can also enter
codes (Plug Activation key) that allow you to upgrade the machine to
incorporate other optional features, such as the RDS encoder.
The serial port 1 can also be used for
reprogramming the firmware
.
The port speed default setting is 38.400 bps.See the relative section in
the
Appendix
on how to reprogram the firmware.

“GPIO” PORT
HD 15-pin female interface on SubD connector. This shows the logic
status of the Falcon XT. The GP outputs are Open Collector outputs,
while the GP inputs are optocouplers. The status of the GP inputs and
GP outputs can be viewed on the front panel, in the right-hand section of
the first LCD screen.
For information on the Opto Interface port
pinout
, see the
A
ppendix
at the
end of this manual. For the operation of each GPI and GPO, see the
specific section in the next pages of this manual.
