System; Trim Anlog - Solid State Logic SL 9000 J Series Operator's Manual

System

Selection of System calls up the following items:
Pushy calls up two options related to the screen 'drag' facility – Pushy and Relative.
The default setting is Pushy – you'll see why once you've tried Relative!
Disable Desk effectively puts the console into a 'safe' mode and, when selected, the
computer will not register any automated object moves or switch selections. Stab on
the box to select Disable Desk and a warning message will flash on screen until you
stab on the box again. The primary function of Disable Desk is to prevent spurious
information being written to the computer if console bays need to be turned off for
maintenance purposes. Alternatively, use this function (and remove the pen) when
you go to lunch/dinner.

Trim Anlog

This is used to set RIO ADC/DAC gains for those systems equipped with DiskTrack.
Select Trim Anlog (sic) and the resultant pop-up (see opposite) should list, by serial
number, all the Analogue RIOs on your system. If the list is blank or incomplete, select
Add and stab on entries in the resultant Remote IO pop-up to add them to the list. To
remove RIOs from the list, select them (blue) first and then hit Remove.
The two faders are used to adjust the Input level pre A-D conversion, and Output
level post D-A conversion, of any Analogue RIO selected (blue) in the list. Note that,
until the correct settings have been saved (see below), a newly installed RIO will give
a 3dB discrepancy between inputs and outputs. The following table gives fader
settings for unity gain at a selection of operating levels:
Level for 0dBFS
16dBu
18dBu
20dBu
22dBu
25dBu
Stabbing on either fader produces a numeric pop-up on which to enter the fader
setting. Note that the values entered here will simultaneously set the gain for all ADCs
or DACs in the RIO.
Having achieved the correct settings for all RIOs on the system, hit Save All. Note that
this is a 'one-shot' store that will be used to restore the settings after a reboot. Load All
will load the last settings saved for all RIOs. Reset can be used to restore a single,
selected, RIO's input and output settings to the default values of 350 and 150
respectively.
