User manual RANE DSC 1 DATASHEET

[. . . ] The compact chassis measures only 2. 8" x 2. 4" x 1. 4" (7. 1 cm x 6. 1cm x 3. 6 cm), with an attached 12" (30 cm) cable for connecting to the SRM 66 RIP. System Requirements · SRM Exchange works under Microsoft Windows 95, 98, or NT ®, on a PC or laptop with an unused serial port. · The DSC 1 needs a fully wired DB9 cable less than 50' long, connecting from the serial port of a computer to the DSC 1 Input RS-232 communications port. [. . . ] This setting can be altered at any time by pressing the Setup button on the software screen. DSC 1 Connection The DSC 1 has two connections, one to the controlling computer's RS-232 port and the other to the SRM 66's RIP. The RS-232 port is connected via the female DB9 jack on the DSC 1 with a standard DB9-DB9 or DB25-DB9 cable (not included). The cable must not be a null-modem type. The DSC 1 connects to the SRM 66's RIP with the hardwired RIP cable. No other devices can be connected to the SRM 66's RIP while the DSC 1 is connected. The DSC 1 requires no external power source because it derives its power from the RIP. Data Sheet-1 DSC 1 DIGITAL SERIAL CONVERTER SRM 66 RIP Port Configuration To communicate properly with the PC software, the SRM 66's RIP must be set to DSC mode. This is accomplished by setting the RIP parameter on the Memory page of the SRM 66. This must be set back to SR 1 mode when SR 1 remotes are connected to ensure proper communication. Verifying Communications Once the SRM 66 is successfully linked to the PC, the Connection indicator on the software panel turns green. If the indicator is yellow, check the SRM 66 Memory page to verify the RIP is set to DSC. A red indicator shows no communication has been established. File Operations Settings in the PC's virtual unit can be saved and recalled from files with the Save File and Load File buttons. Pressing these buttons brings up a standard Windows file dialog for loading or saving files. Printer Settings Hardcopy versions of the settings can be obtained by pressing the Print button. The PC's virtual / current settings are printed using one page per Memory. Although there is no Memory selection dialog to selectively print Memories, such filtering can be accomplished by choosing only certain pages with the Print Dialog's Pages option. Page 1 is the working Memory with pages 2 through 13 corresponding to Memories 1 through 12. [. . . ] To copy the settings to another Memory, press Store followed by the destination Memory button. Unit Memory Transfers Pressing the SRM -> PC button brings up a selection dialog for choosing which memories to transfer to the PC from the SRM 66. Pressing the PC -> SRM button also brings up the memory selection dialog. [. . . ]
