Warning Difference - Compulite Sabre User Manual

Warning Difference

If the show file was recorded under a system configuration different than the current one,
the WARNING DIFFERENCE window is displayed when you attempt to load the show.
The WARNING DIFFERENCE window displays the current system configuration and
the configuration read from the hard disk or the diskette.
A list of all the tables (scroller table, channel patch, spot patch, mix output patch, input
patch, and Topo map) is also displayed. The patch tables and Topo map are affected when
loading under Warning Difference. You can choose how to handle loading the patch tables
and the Topo map, see below.

Keypresses
1. Use F3 to toggle between the
choices merge/clear and don't
load.
2. Press F1 Load
Don't
None of the information contained in the show file pertaining to the specific
Load patch table is loaded. Example: the configuration in the show files is 512
channels. The current system configuration is 420 channels. No information
from the Channel Patch is loaded. The default Channel Patch will be present
after the load is complete.
Clear When the configuration recorded in the show file is larger than the Sabre's
current configuration, the extraneous data is cleared. Example: the
configuration in the show files is 512 channels. The current system
configuration is 420 channels. All channels and related soft patch greater than
420 channels is not loaded.
Merge
When the configuration recorded in the show file is smaller than Sabre's
current configuration, the data contained in the show file is merged into the
current configuration. Example: the configuration in the show files is 376
channels. The current system configuration is 420 channels. All channels and
related soft patch up to channel 420 is loaded.
It is always expedient to load the system configuration (see Service Tools - disk
operations) before loading show files and avoid loading under WARNING DIFFERENCE,
as differences in the toggles in Special Functions and the entries in Special Numbers also
influence the console's function.
Loading show files
Results/Comments
As a rule of thumb, if the item is larger in the
show data than it is in the current system
configuration, then clear and don't load are
the choices. If the item is larger in the current
system configuration than the on the disk
then merge and don't load are the options.
The load operation is executed.
