Section Eight: Using GRQ Remote Software
8.3.2.12. Speed of Command Execution in Linked Networks. Due to the limitations of the speed of
RS-232 communications, there may be some slight delays in command execution for a large network
of GRAPHI-Qs for units near the end of the chain. Most of this delay is a reporting delay; the command
will be executed quickly, but the computer screen indication of the implemented change may take up to
a few seconds. Speed is dependent on several factors:
1. How “busy” each GRAPHI-Q is. Eliminating feedback, for example, is very processor-intensive
and will delay speed.
2. The number of units in your serial network. The bigger the network, the longer the delay.
3. The nature of the parameter under control. Digital delay, for example, is slower to respond than the
near-instantaneous response to graphic EQ change.
8.4. RESET PARAMETERS
You may use the Sabine Remote Software to reset all parameters, or a particular set of parameters. To
access the Reset Parameters, press F12
Function Key, or select Reset Param-
eters from the Options Menu at the top of
the main remote screen. The screen at
right will appear:
Use your mouse to click on the settings
you wish to reset, or the “ALL” choice if
you want to reset everything. For two
channel GRAPHI-Qs, you may reset set-
tings for individual channels. For single
channel GRAPHI-Qs, you may reset OUT-
PUT LEVEL and DIGITAL DELAY set-
tings for the two different outputs possible
with these units; all other parameter set-
tings are common to both outputs and will
be reset for both.
NOTE: Compressor output settings are NOT reset when the compressor /limiter parameters are reset.
Output levels control the output gain of the GRAPHI-Q and must be reset separately.
NOTE: If you want to compare your settings to the GRAPHI-Q default condition (all settings zero), the
best way to do this is to save your current setting to a Preset, then change between that Preset and Preset
#0 (default).
8.5. PRINTING GRAPHI-Q SETTINGS FOR DOCUMENTATION
All settings loaded into a GRAPHI-Q’s memory may be printed out for ease of documentation, by simply
selecting PRINT from the FILE menu at the top of the Remote Control main screen. Print one set of
parameters for each GRQ in a linked chain. Printing can be accomplished in
In addition to printing a record of parameter settings for an individual GRAPHI-Q, you may elect to print
a record of how controls are linked for a multiple-unit GRAPHI-Q system. Simply select “PRINT” from
within the link table.
If you are out in the field and not attached to a printer, you can use the Off-Line Edit/Demo mode to print
your parameter and link-table files when you get back to the office. GRAPHI-Q parameter files can be
sent via e-mail as well — both to the office and from the office back to the remote location.
