Miscellaneous Tools and Functions
Scan System
This is available under the ‘Status’ menu. When selected a window will appear
allowing all possible addresses on the system to be scanned for the presence of any
units. Any found will be reported with their model number and current software
version. The example here shows that the first seven IDs are present.
Note that only the first 32 ID numbers are scanned, even though 4 Series units
support ID numbers up to 128.
The options given are to scan only those units that are currently defined which will
limit the search to the ID’s that are being used already, or to try and find any
connected units. The second option is useful if the ID numbers of the units are not
known.
Flash ID’s
Again available under the ‘Status’ menu, this function is useful for finding out ‘which units are where’ by actually making all
units show their device names on their respective LCD screens. The device name is set when the unit is added to the
system, but may be modified at any time by selecting Device  Modify from the menu bar. The unit will additionally
identify itself by showing its ID number.
Cycle Outputs
Available under the ‘Tools’ menu, this may be thought of an automated solo function where each output of every device
on the system is solo’ed in turn for a fixed period of time, allowing all parts of the system to be validated as working
correctly.
The automated behaviour may be selected from the list with control over both
the speed and method of soloing. A time on its own means the next output will
un-mute immediately following the last at the period set. The ‘Time + Off’
selections un-mute for the period selected, followed by a pause for the period
selected – the net effect being signal and silence in equal measures.
