5 Settings Menu
Introduction
The settings menu displays the current state of each GDR216
setting and allows you to change or adjust it. Settings can be
changed using the front panel of the Synapse frame (SFR18, SFR08
or SFR04) or with Cortex. Also the SCP08 control can be used.
Please refer to chapter 3 for information on the Synapse front panel
control and Cortex.
Note:
All items preceded with a #-sign are part of the presets.
SYSTEM SETTINGS
Mode
In the setting
Mode
you can select how you want to use the
GDR216: 1 input distributed to 16 outputs, or 2 inputs distributed to
8 outputs per input. Set to
1-channel
, 1 input will be set to all 16
outputs. Set to
2-channel
, 2 inputs will be set to 8 outputs each.
You can also set the card Default is
2-channel
.
Input_sel
With
Input_sel
you can manually or by GPI select how the
GDR216 should function.
In
Normal
, the card works in default: in
1-channel
mode, input
A is set to all outputs. In
2-channel
mode input A is set to
outputs A1 till 3, and input B is set to outputs B1 till B3.
In
Crossed
, the card works inverted. So in
1-channel
mode
input B is set to all outputs. In
2-channel
mode, input A is set to
outputs B1 till B3 and input B is set to outputs A1 till A3.
When set to
GPI1 Latch
you can select the way the GDR216
work with GPI1. When GPI1 is open, the card is set to
normal
.
When GPI1 is closed, the card is set to
crossed
.
When set to
GPI 1/2 mom
the way the GDR216 works is set via
pulses on GPI 1 and 2. A pulse on GPI 1 will set to card to
normal
. A pulse on GPI 2 will set the card to
crossed
. GPI 1
and GPI 2 are triggered on the falling edge.
When set to
Backup Switch
, the card will switch inputs when
the input is lost. When the card is in
2 channel
mode, the card
will cross the inputs when input 1 is lost. The setting
Switch-
back
further down the menu decides whether the card should
switch back when the signal returns.
In its default, the card is set to
normal
.
