7.4.5 Online Control / Status

This window allows remotely controlling and monitoring the DRM 4000 in real-time. It also offers the possibility to test the active control input configuration without the need for additional hardware. An active RS-232-connection between your computer and the DRM 4000 is necessary to be able to access this functionality. For details on individual parameters, please refer to chapter 8 “BASIC CONFIGURATION”.

Control Inputs

View Status

Activating “View Status” displays for all parameters the momentarily active state of the DRM 4000. The green LED’s next to the corresponding soft keys indicate the momentarily active control inputs.

Test

Activating “Test” allows the simulation of setting control inputs by pres- sing the according soft keys. The green LED’s next to the corresponding soft keys indicate the momentarily active control inputs and parameter fields as well show the actual active status of the DRM 4000. The mixer behaves as if a control input had been set via hardware. As long as the DRM 4000’s test mode is active, actually setting control inputs via hardware does not show any effect. When canceling the RS-232-con- nection between computer and DRM 4000, automatically cancels the test mode after approximately 3seconds. The DRM 4000 returns to normal operation mode.

Remotely controlling the DRM 4000 is independent of the fact whether “View Status” or “Test” has been activated or not, as long as the RS-232 connection is active.
