11.4 Manual Controls
A few SLM-8 functions can be manually controlled from the control block and setup sub-block. Please refer to
Figures 11.1 and 11.2.
All Start: (Available from both the control block and setup sub-block.) Pressing
@ causes all SLM-8s to
immediately initiate a test.
All Abort: (Available from both the control block and setup sub-block.) Pressing
# causes all SLM-8s to
immediately stop all tests in progress.
DSPI: The Data Signal Presence Indicator is an LED on the front panel of the SLM-8 (labelled “DATA”) that
flashes whenever the unit is polled. The DSPI control is used to force the indicator to stay on as an aid to the
troubleshooting of communication on the Crown Bus. Once the DSPI control is turned on, the Data indicator will
remain lit continuously even if the control block for another device is selected. Turning off the DSPI control restores
the indicator to its normal function of blinking when a valid IQ command is received.
Aux: Toggles the unit’s AUX port output on and off.
The AUX port also has the ability to sense the presence of an external signal. When a logic “high” is detected at
the AUX connector, an asterisk (*) will appear beside it.
Trig: When the Trig control is turned on and it is saved in a dataframe file, Turbo will automatically initiate a test
for the SLM-8 when the dataframe file is loaded and engaged.
Start: Immediately initiates a test in the selected SLM-8.
Abort: Immediately stops a test in progress in the selected SLM-8.
Setup: Switches to the SLM-8 Setup Sub-block screen.
Monitor: Sets the channel whose audio signal will appear at the fused monitor output on the back panel of the
SLM-8. Whenever the Monitor setting is changed, Turbo first turns off the monitor outputs on all SLM-8s in the
system. Then it turns on the selected monitor channel for the selected unit. This enables multiple SLM-8s to be
connected to the same monitor loudspeaker.
