Extended Mode
The Extended Mode overcomes the Standard Mode limitation of the Parallel/Serial standard, by adding some programmable functions
that allow the user, and the software developers, to gain access to the power of EZMaster.
The input connections are the same as in the Standard Mode:
Parallel Port Command
•
Play Voice Keyer
•
Band Map Data
•
Radio A/B
•
PTT Line
•
CW Line
Serial Port
•
PTT Line
•
CW Line
•
Radio Control
While in the Extended Mode, the user can define a so-called “
ANTENNA MATRIX Profile
” where more that one ANTENNA MATRIX
output port can be set.
Each Profile can be assigned to any BCD encoded data coming from the parallel port. In this way a complex Antenna system can be
easily selected and configured. An RF Antenna Switch can be controlled in a full automatic way, sharing antennas between both radios
in a SO2R configuration.
The Extended mode enables also a smart way to manage the Voice Keyer messages through the Parallel Port.
As shown in the table below, all the 16 combinations of the 4 pin of the parallel port are recognized, so all the seven EZMaster
messages can be played and recorded including also a STOP command for both function. This configuration always retains a backward
compatibility due the fact that the play commands are configured as in Standard Mode, where only one pin out of four is pulsed.
