Auto/Direct Mode Commands - Lectrosonics AM8 Instruction Manual

AM8

Auto/Direct Mode Commands

Set Auto/Direct Read Flag - Allows the host to change
the value of the Direct/Auto Read Flag. If the
flag is 0, the AM8 reads the internal Direct/Auto
switches to determine the channel status. If the
flag is set to 1, the value stored in EEPROM is
used. The new flag value is stored in EEPROM.
Host sends command - 15 (0F hex)
Host sends data byte: 0 or 1, where 0 = read
internal switches, 1 = use stored value.
Get Auto/Direct Mode - Causes the AM8 to send to the
host the a data byte which indicates the current
mode of all channels, packed into one data byte
as shown below. The mode of each channel is
represented by one bit in the returned data byte
as shown below:
MSB (bit 7) - CH8 mode
Bit 6 - CH7 mode
Bit 5 - CH6 mode
Bit 4 - CH5 mode
Bit 3 - CH4 mode
Bit 2 - CH3 mode
Bit 1 - CH2 mode
Bit 0 - CH1 mode
If the associated bit is a 1, the channel is in Direct
mode, while a 0 is Auto mode.
Host sends command - 13 0D hex)
Host receives data byte: 0-255 (0-FF hex),
interpreted according to the table above.
Set Auto/Direct Mode - Allows the host to input a new
value for the Direct/Auto status variable. The
data byte sent by the host should be assembled
according to the table above ("Output Auto/Direct
Mode" command). A "1" in a bit position will put
the associated channel in the Direct mode, while
a "0" will put the associated channel in the Auto
mode. The Auto/Direct Read Flag must be set to
1 for this command to be valid (see "Set Auto/Di-
rect Read Flag" command below).
Host sends command - 14 (0E hex)
Host sends 2 data bytes: Byte 1 is the low 7 bits
of the mode data (defined as in the table above).
Byte 2 is 1 if the MSB of the mode data is 1, and
0 if the MSB of the mode data is 0.
