IQ–MSD Turbo 1.4 Advanced IQ System Software
Page 212
String Object A graphics plate object that is used to control functions in UCODE-compatible IQ components
whose state is a text string.
Sub-block A set of parameters that operate the automatic functions or that otherwise configure an IQ compo-
nent. For example, the automatic mixing capability of an IQ sensing mixer is controlled from a sub-block. See ASA
also.
T-Board A backplane circuit board that connects external system wiring and power to the edge connector of an
IQ matrixer or drone. Together, the T-board and its mating IQ component circuit board form the shape of a “T”. T-
boards are designed to be removed for easy bench-top wiring.
Text (Object) A graphic object that serves as a text label on a graphics plate. Text objects can be placed on
top of other objects like buttons and containers to label them. A wide variety of typefaces and fonts are available.
Threshold A control that determines when something will begin to happen. Threshold controls are used in
many functions. For example, an input signal above the Gate function Threshold will cause the gate to open. Or,
an input signal above the Input Compressor/Limiter function Threshold will cause compression to begin.
Toggle To switch from one state to another with the same keystroke or mouse action. For example, the “Space
Bar” is used often to toggle various controls on and off in the control block and sub-blocks.
Toolbox A palette from which the various graphic objects are selected when creating a graphics plate.
Trigger A control which is used to cause specific actions or events to automatically take place when system
settings are engaged. For example, the trigger control in the graphics control block determines if Turbo will
automatically load and display a graphics plate when the dataframe file is opened and engaged.
TSR A
Terminate and Stay Resident program such as a screen saver or antivirus program. Such programs
should not be run at the same time as Turbo because most of them are incompatible with it.
Typeface A character or symbol set of a unique design. Typefaces come in different styles, sizes and weights
(called fonts).
Upload To transfer the settings from the IQ components in a system to the host computer.
UART The
Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter. It is a chip that serves as a serial communication
interface in most PC computers. 16550-compatible UARTs are required for use with Turbo.
UCODE A
universal code protocol that allows Crown IQ components and third-party IQ components to
communicate with an IQ System and be controlled and/or monitored by IQ software.
Variable Color A custom color attribute for graphic objects that can be mixed by the user.
