Most importantly, you can switch the state between Slave and Master. On enabling “Master”, the
generator will be set and the unit will send out C-Jam broadcasts indicated by a green flash on each
second followed by a double blink every 6
th
second. Please refer to chapter “LED Blink Codes” for
detailed description. A Master will remember it’s state and attempt to retain that state on reboot.
Note: only one unit within the ACN is allowed to be Master. The algorthms of the ACN will assist you to
effectively prevent to enable this on more than one unit, if a Master is detected on boot, the unit will
revert to “Slave” also multiple ACNs can coexist on one channel as Slaves will only listen to their initial
Master as long as receiving it’s C-Jam broadcasts.
“Master” also gives access to setting the Frame Rate (FPS) and manually Set Timecode of the
generator to a deliberate value or automatically Set to Time of Day synchronized by the system clock
of the device through which accessing the interface. Setting to Time Of Day will also insert the current
date in the Userbits and set the realtime clock of NanoLockits on the channel. If using the Userbits for
displaying the date e.g. on a LockitSlate, you can switch here between European (DD.MM.YY.ED) and
American (MM.DD.YY.AD) date scheme. To make any changes, first click on the pencil symbol, apply
desired settings and confirm by ticking the orange mark. The same way you can change the ACN
Channel (also availbale on “Slave”).
Note: When connected Slaves will follow a channel change of their Master, so this will only be required
when connecting to a Master which cannel has been previously edited from default.
Word Clock will switch pin 4 of TC (red) Lemo from Tune to 48KHz when a sound recorder is activated
in ACN Radar Tab. If you want to tune your device via ACC501, disable the sound recordr channel or
switch to Tune here.
