Notice to CVI Distributors
-
"
Several CVI users have reported a problem with the Title Library using
Revision
7
software. Apparently, the machine can bomb out after an
extended title edit
I
library save session, leaving the contents of the
library
in total c
Q
aos. In one instance, the result of this was
a
machine
that
would not
J10wer up again
AT ALL.
We
wish
to advise that this annoying bug is being looked into. It is very
difficult to reproduce at will. The proposal is to include a fix in Revision
8,
the release date of which has not yet been determined.
(1)
When creating large title libraries, use a separate computer, such as a
PC or Macintosh. This allows
fOJ
efficient title editing, as well a safe
offline storage.' The CVI Rev7 Manual Update describes how to include
ASCII escape sequences to provide font ,and attribute changes in titles.

(2)
Use the RS232coinmands, Load Library (@LL) and Save Library (@SL), to
handle the library en masse. Thus, If the ra're
bug
,shows up, all is not
lost.
The
machine Can be restarted and the library reloaded.
NG
When a CVI
running-Rev7
software
will
not power
up
at all, i.e.
because
of
the bug in question or perhaps another bizarre reason, it is possible to
force a complete machine reset. This is accomplished as follows:
Whilst s
im
u
l
t
aneo
us
ly holding doWn
t
he FREEZE, PRESET, MENU
andSTOPbuttoos
00
the
control panel, turn the power ON.
Hold these four
(
lef
t
mo
s
t
)
buttons down until the Fairl
i
gh
t
logo appears
o�,
tile display.
Once this is done; there is no going back. The title library, sequences,_
user-defined,
brushes and textures, presets, and other as�orted goodies are
all reset
to
theirfactory,settJngs. The machine may then be considered to
be totaly refreshed arid 'ready to use once more.
