FALCON XT CONTROL VIA SOFTWARE
14.2 “SETTINGS” SECTION
The SETTINGS section contains some general work parameters for the Falcon XT.
14.2.1
Target Settings:
Using this box you can set the mnemonic name of the device to which you are connected (in the ID Label section). The
"Name" section contains the name of the machine and is non-editable, while the "FW NUM" is the individual ID code of
the firmware installed on the Falcon XT device. This number may be required when the implementation of an option
within the machine is requested (e.g. an RDS encoder).
However, to prevent direct access to the machine via the front encoder dial,
you can set a password in the section titled "Keyboard Lock". To set the
password, enter an alphanumeric combination of up to 8 characters in the box
and then press LOCK. Once this is done, the front panel can no longer be
controlled directly via the front encoder dial.
WARNING:
There is no backdoor mechanism to release this lock
feature and the staff of Axel Technology cannot provide assistance
in the event of lost/forgotten passwords. If this happens, the device
must be brought back for reformatting.
To restore normal encoder dial operation, enter the password chosen during the lock stage in the
‘Password’ field and then press UNLOCK.
14.2.2
The Falcon XT internal clock:
The
clock
installed inside the unit is powered by a
SuperCAP
(
capacitor
) instead of a conventional battery. The
capacitor keeps the clock running and protects the system memory against loss of stored programs in the event of power
cuts, with an autonomy of approximately one week (depending on environmental conditions).
Full charge requires at least 30 minutes of standard operation.
The RDS parameters and settings are stored in a non-volatile
memory (to maintain data integrity in the event of long periods of
disuse).
The clock tolerance is approximately 1 second per day (strictly linked to environmental conditions). Should the SuperCap
discharge completely, the clock will stop and will
need to be resynchronized
with the PC clock using the Synchronize
Clock function.
The Scheduler for the RDS services stops when the internal clock stops.
