Default settings In the default condition, the ADC20 passes analog audio to the Axon bus. Changing settings The front panel controls or the Synapse Set-Up Software can be used to change settings. -
Page 8: Example Of Changing Parameter Using Front Panel Control
Example of With the display as shown below changing parameters using RRC18 [Select Card] front panel control >S01=SFS10 Pressing the ► selects the SFS10 in frame slot 01. The display changes to indicate that the SFS10 has been selected. In this example the Settings menu item is indicated. -
Page 9: Synapse Setup Software
Synapse Setup Software can be used to change the settings of Synapse Synapse Setup modules from a PC, either locally or remotely. The software enables Software communication based on TCP/IP between the Setup PC and Synapse frames/modules. Each Synapse frame is addressed through its rack controller’s unique IP address, giving access to each module, its menus and adjustment items. -
Page 10: The Adc20 Cards
The ADC20 Card Introduction The AXON ADC20 is an analog audio to digital audio converter card with delay. The delay offset ranging from 0ms up to 5200 ms at 48 kHz. This card can only be used as an add-on card. In this mode the card is set to embed audio signals. -
Page 11: Settings Menu
5 Settings Menu Introduction The settings menu displays the current state of each setting within the ADC20 and enables the item to be changed or adjusted. Settings can be changed using the front panel of the Synapse frame (SFR18 or SFR04) or Synapse Setup software or the SCP08 control panel. - Page 12 0dBFs-inp_1 The setting 0dBFs-inp_1 set the audio level that will give a full- scale input on channel 1. The available settings are +12dBu, +15dBu, +18dBu and +24dBu. The default setting is +24dBu. 0dBFs-inp_2 The setting 0dBFs-inp_2 set the audio level that will give a full- scale input on channel 2.
- Page 13 Gain-Ch_4 The settings menu item Gain-Ch_4 controls the output gain of channel 4. Gain-Ch_4 has an adjustment range between –60.00dB and +12.00dB. When Gain-Ch_4 is set to 0dB the output level is equal to the input level. Below –60dB, a setting of –999dB is automatically entered and a mute is activated.

6 Status Menu Introduction The status menu indicates the current status of each item listed below. AnalogInp The status item AnalogInp, indicates if there is analog audio present at the inputs. If there is audio present, the present audio channels are indicated. -
Page 15: Events Menu
7 Events Menu Introduction An event is a special message that is generated on the card asynchronously. This means that it is not the response to a request to the card, but a spontaneous message. What is the Goal of The goal of events is to inform the environment about a changing condition on the card. - Page 16 What information is The message consists of the following items; available in an 1) A message string to show what has happened in text, for example: event? “INP_LOSS”, “REF_LOSS”, “INP_RETURN”. 2) A tag that also shows what happens, but with a predefined number: e.g.
