Renegade Labs Gray|328
Appendix C: Diagnostic Port/GPI Option
The Gray|328 uses the diagnostic port to communicate with the mixer's
software. Though not fully supported the diagnostic port does provide
access to additional functionality not found in the normal mixer
operations.
Connection
The diagnostic port is a standard PC RS-232 9-pin serial port. Because of
this it is necessary to use a null-modem adapter when communicating
with a PC. Typically any PC with a serial port and terminal emulation
software will work for communications.
Figure 133. Diagnostic Port/GPI Pinout
The diagnostic port communicates at 115K buad, no parity, 8 data bits,
and no hardware/software control. When prober communications is
established the “
mon>”
prompt will appear after pressing “ENTER” on the
PC.
Write Protect Registers
Write protect registers gives the ability to protect a register from
accidently being written over. To write protect a register:
1.
Using a PC connected to the mixer's diagnostic port press “ENTER”
until the “
mon>
” prompt appears.
2.
At the monitor prompt, enter a "wp" followed by the register number
and a "1" to enable write protection or a "0" to disable write protection.
Here is an example of how to enable write protection on register
number 1.
mon> wp 1 1
mon>
3.
Here is an example of how to disable write protection on register 3.
mon> wp 3 0
mon>
Note
When a register is write protected no saves of that register are allowed
from the Register Menu. The SAVE soft button will not be available.
