Power-Q Options; Sabine Remote Control For Power-Q; Computer Requirements; Pin Configuration - SABINE Power-Q Operating Information Manual

The POWER-Q is available in the following configurations:
• Standard model: Analog in/out.
• Transformer analog I/O. Analog connections with Jensen transformers.
• Blank front panel: For remote control via RS-232 serial port interface to Windows
software.
• Digital and analog I/O. Adds an AES/EBU digital interface in addition to the standard
analog connections.
POWER-Q units with the Serial remote control option, or blank front panel POWER-Qs (ADF-
4SLU), can be remote controlled by a Windows-equipped computer. If your POWER-Q has this
option, the back panel will have connectors labeled "Serial" and "Network". The Serial connector
is for connecting the first POWER-Q to your computer. Additional POWER-Qs are connected
together via the Network connector.
The Windows software necessary to operate the POWER-Q is included in your purchase of the
remote control option or the ADF-4SLU slave unit.
you purchase an ADF-4SLU blank front panel version, you will receive two 3.5" POWER-Q for
Windows disks. In order to use the software you will need the following:

System Requirements

1. Computer equipped with Pentium processor 100 Mhz or faster.
2. Hard disc with at least 1.5 MB of available space for program files.
3. Windows 3.1 or Windows 95.
4. POWER-Q with firmware 2.4 or higher
5. SVGA or greater resolution graphic card and monitor.
6. One COMM port for a serial connection, with a 16550 or faster comm chip.
7. Cables & Connector
9-pin female, RS232, standard computer-store connectors (for example, Radio Shack Cat No 26-
117). Plug into the POWER-Q's back-panel RS232 male jack labeled SERIAL.
If you computer's COMM port is has a 25-pin connector, use a standard RS232, 25-pin
female to 9-pin male standard computer-store connector. Alternatively, use a 25-pin female
to 9-pin male adapter (for example, Radio Shack Cat No 26-287) and a standard 9-pin to 9-pin
connector described above. Plug into the POWER-Q's back-panel RS232 jack labeled SERIAL.
