Test

Runs a display and DSP self test routine. When successfully completed, the unit displays Pass and returns to normal operation. Otherwise an error message Err.xy is displayed – please refer to “Error Codes and Messages” on page 74 for more specific information.

7-Seg

Disables the 7 segment LED display. When set to Off, the display turns off 4 seconds after the last button press. A dot in the lower right hand corner of the display remains lit to indicate that the display has been deliberately blanked. The display springs back into life (temporarily) if the menu is used subsequently. Error or warning messages are displayed regardless of this setting.

Heat

Displays the internal temperature of the unit, measured near the internal VCXOs. Press Set to toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius. See section “Operating Conditions” on page 63

Phone

dCS telephone number scrolls across the display

Part

The control board part number (version) scrolls along the display.

S-No

The control board serial number scrolls along the display. You will need something to write this on, if you call us for help.

RS232

Displays - and allows access to – the unit’s RS-232 identity code (an address between 0 and 99). This is used by the remote control software, to send specific messages to specific units. Use Up and Down to change this address if you are operating several units in a multichannel set up.

IMPORTANT! Each unit in the daisy chain MUST be set to a different RS-232 address.

BNC O

Sets the format of the 75 ohm BNC outputs, and changes depending on whether the unit is in PCM or DSD modes. In PCM mode, the options are

AES	Sends out AES3 coded data, but at TTL levels, at
	up to 96 kS/s on the Clk Out connector.
SDIF	Sends out SDIF-2 encoded data, with a word clock
	on the Clk Out connector.

In DSD mode, the options are changed to:

CL 1	Sends out DSD data along with a bit clock on the
	Clk Out connector.
CL64	Sends out DSD data along with a word clock on the
	Clk Out connector.
