Control Security Lock A control that prevents the control objects on a graphics plate from being altering the
system settings with one exception—the graphics plate, itself, can still be edited. This means the position, size and
attributes of the controls can still be changed.
Count Level The Count Level setting determines how many dB the Gate Count function will attenuate each
input as more gates are opened.
Crown Bus A serial communication loop designed to transmit IQ commands and data to IQ components. As a
standard it sets only the communication protocol and is independent of the wiring system used. Most IQ compo-
nents can be connected to the Crown Bus with inexpensive twisted-pair wire.
Curve Object An object that links an SLM-8 test curve to a plotter object for display on a graphics plate.
DAOL The
Desired Average Output Level of the Auto Level function of an SMX-6 or AMB-5 mixer.
Dataframe A file, stored on disk, which contains the settings and parameters of an IQ System, including the
configuration of each IQ component, control blocks, sub-blocks and graphics plates.
Decay Time An AMB function parameter that determines how rapidly the output level will be reduced when
the ambient sense input level is dropping (while it is still above the Threshold setting).
Delay Time A Gate function parameter that determines how long a gate will stay open after an incoming signal
drops below the Threshold.
Device A Crown IQ component (see Component, IQ System).
Device Menu A menu that is used to select the Control Block screen of an IQ component. It is accessed by
pressing !
Digital Meter A graphic object that dynamically displays a level (such as an audio input level) with a numerical
readout.
Display A control that determines what will be displayed when switching to a graphics plate. If Display is set to
“Selected”, a GDM will be automatically displayed for each selected IQ component that has one. If Display is set
to “Memory”, the last version of the selected graphics plate which was stored in memory will be displayed.
Display Now A control that causes Turbo to switch from the graphics plate Control Block screen to the selected
graphics plate.
Display Screen A text-mode screen that graphically displays input and output levels and, in the case of
amplifiers, provides IOC and ODEP indicators. Many display screens can be accessed by pressing

Distributed Intelligence Many IQ components, like sensing IQ mixers and drones, have the ability to run
themselves because of their on-board function “intelligence”. This enables the supervision of an IQ System to be
distributed to local components rather than being centrally controlled from only one point. This makes IQ Systems
less expensive and more fail-safe.
