The Point Bypass screen consists of the following:
"Adjacent Steps Cannot Be Duplicates!" - This is a normally invisible indicator which warns of
adjacent steps being the same. This condition can be generated by the use of the point bypass and
point order features. This condition is possible when the user entered point order (see Section 4.2.8)
sets up a situation where the same point is sampled more than once in a single sequencer loop.
Bypassing the point(s) in between creates this invalid condition. When this indicator is visible no
point bypass pattern updates are possible until the condition is corrected.
"Point 1 Active" through "Point 16 Active" - An array of 16 [32] push buttons that will bypass the
indicated point. When pushed to bypass a point the button reads "Point 1 Bypassed";
"Discard Changes" - This push button clears all point bypass changes just made and restores
everything to that currently running in the system. Note that this button operates as stated only
before the "Apply Changes" (see below) push button is used.
"At Least 2 Points Must Be Active!" - This normally invisible indicator appears if less than two
points are active. The system design requires that any 2 points must be active as a minimum.
"Bypass Pattern is Current" - This push button indicates whether the sequencer point bypass pattern
is current or different than that running in the sequencer. When this button flashes "Apply Changes"
the user should press it after all desired changes have been made. This restarts the sequencer with the
new point bypass selections implemented.
"System Menu" – An HMI navigation button which switches the screen back to the System Setup
Menu.
4.2.8
Sequencer Point Order
All MultiGard 5000 sequencers contains 32 steps which always runs truly sequential; step 1 through
step 32, back to step 1, etc. This is true regardless of how many physical sample points MultiGard
5000 unit is configured to have. When the physical sample point count is less than 32 it is possible
to sample a specific point more than once per sequencer loop. User defined point order is
accomplished by use of the Point Order screen and allows the flexibility to accommodate a variety of
sampling schemes.
