The AI-2 can be used to save status information to the ADAT tape
header at the end of a session. The AI-2 transfers project informa-
tion, such as code type, and most significantly the Cue start and
Tape start times, this allows offsets to be automatically recalled at a
future date. The information is saved in BRC format, so it can be
read by either another AI-2 or the BRC. At the end of a session
press the AI-2 front panel SAVE key, followed by STORE to confirm
the save command. The AI-2 will rewind all the ADAT tapes to the
header and transfer the data to each tape.

4.9 CUSTOMIZING THE SETUP

The AI-2 setup can be customized at any time, entering Setup
mode does not affect normal operation of the AI-2. However, care
should be taken when altering the system reference, sample rate or
code rate and type as this causes the AI-2 to relock or internally
recalculate the sample rate ratio, which will put the ADATs into stop
and disengage the tapes.
In situations where it is necessary to prevent alteration of AI-2
setup parameters, setup mode can be made read only by setting a
rear panel configuration dip switch.

4.10 RESET THE AI-2

The AI-2 can be reset to factory default parameters by holding the
STORE key when the unit is powered up. The display will show the
message Clearing Mem and then run through the normal power on
procedure. Any ADAT tape header information stored in the AI-2
will also be cleared.
