Virtual Dip Switch
Virtual Dip Switch Application Program
The application “VDip” is included with the Auditronics 220 Digital
Audio console. It is designed to run on any Windows 95/98 compatible
PC. When the correct serial port of the external PC that contains the VDip
program is connected to the console’s serial interface port, the program
can be used to alter certain configuration details (mutes, tallies, etc.) in the
220 console. These details can be saved to a file and called up at a later
date, thus making it easy to change console set-ups by running the VDip
program and restoring a previously saved file.
Installation
To install VDip, first be sure that the PC you wish to use is Windows
95/98 compliant, has a CD ROM drive, has at least 50 Mb of hard disk
storage available, and has an available serial port mapped to COM 1,
COM 2, COM 3, or COM 4. Install the software on the PC by loading the
VDip CD that came with the 220 console into the drive tray and then
running the install wizard on the CD by double-clicking on “Setup. exe”.
Note, if your CD ROM drive is configured for Auto Play, the install
program will automatically start when you insert the VDip CD in the
drive. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.
When finished, store the CD in a safe place in case you need to install the
software on another machine in the future.
Hooking up the computer
Refer to the diagram on page 6-11 of this chapter showing the proper
connections for the serial cable connecting the external PC with the 220
console serial interface port which is located on the lower DB-15
connector of the OMD module. Wire and test the cable. Note that there
are certain jumper settings on the OMD module which must match the
serial port on your external PC. The console is shipped with the 220
console serial interface set up for a normal RS-232 connection. If your
external PC has an available RS-232 connection (which most do) you do
not need to modify any of the settings on the OMD module. If you are
planning on using an RS-485 connection to the 220 serial interface ( to
allow multiple consoles and/or multiple controllers to be connected on a
common bus), your PC must have an available RS-485 port ( most do not)
and you must make changes to the settings on the OMD module to set up
the proper format, addresses, and terminations for an RS-485 system. If
