Pan Bars Quick Start Guide

The keywords used in the above table are described below:
*NetworkBoards
: The number of network boards (nodes) in
the system. You need to increase this by one (1) to cater for the
new board in the Pan Bars mimic device.
*NodeProgram3
: For the node to which you assigned the
mimic (node 3 in this case), add a reference to the
.btl
file
that you want Flair to load into the mimic device on that node
when starting up. The
.btl
file is already supplied with Flair
so you don’t need to copy or download it from elsewhere.
*RICMimic
: If this is set to True, Flair will reserve ports 1-8 for
RT-14 mimic inputs, and so ports 9-12 are assigned to Pan
Bars. It is recommended that this is set to True.
*MimicBoard1
: Assigns each mimic board to an available
node. You need to specify a node that is not already used by
another board. In this example nodes 1 to 2 are already used by
other boards so
*MimicBoard1
is assigned to node
3
. There is
only one mimic device installed so
*MimicBoard2
is
commented out.
Remember to save the file after you have edited it.
