2) If you are using GilderTerm, and GilderTerm’s Option menu’s ‘Mouse
Selection’ option is checked, you can simply left mouse click on the on
screen text, and GilderTerm will type the command for you.
Some commands are ‘toggles’. They will change each time to type/click on them.
Others will want you to enter a numeric value or answer further questions.
All numeric values are entered in using decimal numbers (0 through 9). If more
characters have been entered than are allowed, then the characters already entered
will scroll to the left to make room for the new entries. Once they have been typed,
characters can be erased one-by-one by using the <DELETE> key (<BACKSPACE>
on some keyboards). An entire entry can be erased by hitting the <ESC>ape key. A
command can be canceled altogether by hitting the <ESC>ape key once (if no
additional characters have been typed) or twice (the fist hit deletes any characters you
have already typed, and the second cancels the command).
Once you have configured an Br-EFB, you can ‘lock’ the configuration by moving
the ‘Write Protect’ switch to the ‘Write Protected’ position from the ‘Write Enabled’
position. This should protect your configuration from anything short of a lightning hit.
The menu will change to show that the Flash Memory has been protected and warn
you that you can no longer make any changes. Configuration changes can be
re-enabled at any time by moving the switch back to the ‘Enabled’ position.
If you want to keep a hard copy printout of the current configuration of the Br-EFB,
you should use the <ESC>ape key to redraw the screen while ‘saving to file’ in the
modem program running on your computer. This file can be printed out at any time, or
spliced into the documentation package for your project.
A) First DMX-512 Address
This toggle selects whether the outputs’ DMX-512 address is set from:
• First analog DMX-512 Address stored in the AutoDownload file. Any
digital channels will be ignored. If you save AutoDownload files with a
non-zero starting number for the number of channels to go into the
AutoDownload file. This is the Default.
• Addressed at a location you specify. You simply enter the DMX-512
address for each Br-EFB and fixture on the DMX-512 network.
• Use default of DMX-512 address zero.
If you choose the first option, but no AutoDownload has been found it will
report ‘Default Until AutoDownload’, to tell you that it wants to get the address
from the AutoDownload file, but the AutoDownload file has yet to be loaded. If it
