GDMFileName=: The fourth line lists the file name of the GDM file. The GDM file will be created later but you
should decide what to name it when you prepare the OIF. The GDM extension does not need to be included in
the file name (AMP could have been used in place of AMP.GDM). We chose to use an easily recognizable name
like AMP since this GDM will be used to control an amplifier via an IQ P.I.P.
If an OIF already exists for the IQ component, you can simply open it with a text editor, find the [Component] section
and change the GDMFileName. Substitute the file name of the new GDM that you will create. Then save the
changes. Caution: You may want to save a backup copy of the OIF before you edit it. Then you can use it again
if ever need to restore the system to its original state. When you make a backup copy, either give it a different
extension or move it to a different directory because Turbo will continue to try and use it if it sees it in the same
directory with an OIF extension in its file name.
3.9.2 Exit and Restart Turbo
After creating the OIF, you will need to exit Turbo and restart it so it will incorporate the new OIF. (Turbo searches
for OIFs during its startup procedure. It only searches the Turbo14 directory so the new OIF must be located
there.) Then return to the graphics plate and continue with the next step.
3.9.3 Creating a GDM Container
Next, open the Toolbox (
%) and select the GDM Container object. The GDM Container Attributes window will
appear as is shown in Figure 3.24.
If you were successful in creating an OIF, you should see the description of the IQ component listed in the window.
Select it and then set the attributes listed next. Note: At this time it is not necessary to enter a Crown Bus loop or
IQ address number because this is a new GDM which we have not yet completed. Later when you call up the
completed GDM for actual use, you will need to enter this information so the GDM will know which amplifier to
control.
Background: Sets the background color of the GDM Container.
