2. Queries using the character are straightforward For example SO4GAINI1 might return SO4GAINI110 while SO4GAINI might return SO4GAINI Aaa 6 4 Matrix Commands Matrix commands are used for controlling parameters that exist at the crosspoints of the mixing matrices Typical parameters include gain and mute Before describing the matrix commands it is necessary to give a description of the matrices involved During the following discussion it will be helpful to refer to the figure below which shows all the matrices with their input and output labels 1 4 li T R1 p w x z PEAN are fare panar eee TY in a HEHE HG R Fa a De The EF2211 has three analog outputs labeled 1 A and B These outputs are all at line level There are two additional outputs the output to the telephone interface labeled T and the output to the power amplifier The output to the power amplifier does not have a separate output in the matrix it is tied to output 1 Thus the signal routed to output 1 will also be routed to the power amplifier output This yields a total of four physical outputs The EF2211 has three analog inputs labeled 1 A and B Input 1 is mic line selectable and inputs A B are line level only Input 1 can also have phantom power enabled and contain channel processing which includes the following DSP algorithms Acoustic Ech
3. Assign a blank command to occur when logic input pin 7 changes from the inactive state to the active state Assigning a blank command means no action will take place as a result of this state change IA4 lt string gt where lt string gt is the command string that will be executed when logic input 4 is activated If this query was given after the example for logic input 4 above the response would be SO1LIA4 MUTEI11 Query the command associated with the active state of logic pin 4 8 77 LID Assign Action for when Logic Input is Deactivated This function assigns a single command to be executed when a given logic input changes from the active state to the inactive state Typically the inactive state is logic high 1 and the active state is logic low 0 This is commonly referred to as active low Acitve low is considered normal because a closed switch would ground the input and a closed switch would normally be considered active This polarity setting can be changed via the LIP command A single command can be assigned to each of three conditions occurring on the logic pin a change to the active state a change to the inactive state and a repeating command when the pin is held in the active state The LID command assigns a single command to the logic pin that is executed when the logic pin changes to the inactive state Although only one command can be
4. This command selects which signal is displayed on the front panel LED meter The options correspond to either the telepone input or telephone output The labels for the the telephone input and output are IT and OT respectively This command is saved to non volatile memory only as part of a preset The state of this command will be restored after power up only if a preset is saved and that preset is set to be the power on preset Example Description Status Message SO METERT Set front panel LED meter to display the SUINETERTI signal on input 1 m oo o p S01METERx where x is the label a corresponding to the signal currently being SO1METER uy Weis Boat One a monitored If this command was sent after meter is currently set to monitor the first example given above the response would be SO1METERI1 8 100 MGAIN Set Crosspoint Gains in Main Matrix or Submatrix This command sets or queries one or more crosspoint gains in either the main matrix or one of the EF Bus submatrices This command is a matrix integer command See Section 6 4 and Section 6 2 for more information on this type of command The minimum and maximum values for this command are 100 and 20 respectively This command is saved to non volatile memory only as part of a preset The state of this command will be restored after power up only if a preset is saved and that preset is set to be the power on
5. gt Query current state 1LI D pe lof logic inputs 8 76 LIA Assign Action for when Logic Input is Activated This function assigns a single command to be executed when a given logic input changes from the inactive state to the active state Typically the inactive state is logic high 1 and the active state is logic low 0 This is commonly referred to as active low Acitve low is considered normal because a closed switch would ground the input and a closed switch would normally be considered active This polarity setting can be changed via the LIP command A single command can be assigned to each of three conditions occurring on the logic pin a change to the active state a change to the inactive state and a repeating command when the pin is held in the active state The LIA command assigns a single command to the logic pin that is executed when the logic pin changes to the active state Although only one command can be assigned to the state change the command may be a MACROx or MACROQ command Since up to 256 commands can be stored in each macro this gives the effect of having up to 256 commands execute when the logic pin changes state The command associated with the state change can also be a PRESETX Or PRESETO This makes it easy to reconfigure the device for different rooms based on external logic settings The BROADA is also useful in logic pin assignments The BROADA command transmits a
