This section offers organizational information and help information for using RS-232 commands.
Profanity Delay Commands
These are the profanity delay commands. Note
that some rarely used commands are left out of
this section.
L
requests levels
M
requests mode
T
requests current delay
U
requests current delay/hex
0
go to static at 0 delay
H
go to static at current delay
B
switches to
bypass
mode
W
initiates wait for safe
A
initiates wait and exit
Z
initiates ramp to zero
R
initiates rebuild
S
starts a sneeze
K
ends a sneeze
D
performs a dump
Micro Precision Delay Commands
These are the fixed delay commands.
L
requests levels
B
switches to
bypass
mode
0
switches from bypass to in-line
1
increments MPD digit
2
decrements MPD digit
3
selects MPD digit
P
requests MPD delay value
The RS232 commands allow the front panel of
the BD600+ to be completely replicated in
function (and in form) by a remote device. A
computer with a terminal emulator may use
these commands to prove that all of the infor-
mation and control are available. Use the T, M
and P commands to watch modes and delays
change as commands are issued.
Configuration Mode Commands
The RS232 configuration commands step
through the configuration variables in much the
same way the front panel does. Use the G com-
mand to step to the next variable. Use the N
command to step through values for a single
variable.
Most values will be used by the BD600+ im-
mediately after they are changed, so care must
be taken not to change those that may cause un-
desirable artifacts on air.
M
requests mode
B
switches to
bypass
mode
0
switches from bypass to in-line
C
dump values for all config variables
E
dump possible values for all variables
G
go to next config variable
N
next value for this variable
Q
back to first variable
V
Eventide Factory Defaults
X
examine current variable
Y
first value for this variable
Example configuration operations
Note that you must wait for a prompt before
sending each character.
To change the rebuild rate from whatever it
happens to be to 240, you can send
Q G G G G G G G G Y N N N N N.
(Spaces are shown to increase readability and
would not be sent.) This sequence says: go to
first variable, then step through the variables to
the
REB
variable, then set it to the first value,
then step through to the 6th value which is 240
(for an 8.0 seconds
DLAY
value).
In order to change the full delay amount, the
unit has to be placed into bypass. This sequence
will change the maximum delay to 4.0 seconds
and put the unit back
in-line
.
Q G G G G G G G Y N B 0.
Note that if you issue the B command while
the unit is already bypassed, you will get an er-
ror message. Your sequence may expect the er-
ror message and ignore it.
