D-70 / Apr 2000
CPU & DSP
The most common use for the D-70 Serial Interface is to allow
configuration changes (mutes, tallys, etc.) by means of the “Virtual Dip
Switch” program supplied with the console and described in Chapter 7 of
this manual. To do this, the “Virtual Dip Switch” program must first be
installed on a suitable PC, and a serial cable connected from the COM port
of your PC to the serial interface connector (DB-15). Be sure that the RS-
232 mode for the console serial interface (the default setting) has been
selected via the jumpers on the PR-60 PCB. Push the LOC/REM button on
the CRD-70 module to enable remote operation and start the program on
the PC. Use the program as described in this manual to modify the D-70
console configuration. Once the configuration has been set, the PC can be
disconnected from the console.
Another use for the D-70 Serial Interface is for complete remote
operation by an external control system. When used in this way, the D-70
console acts as a passive listener to the serial interface awaiting D-70 serial
protocol commands. Any external system that can deliver serial text
strings in the proper D-70 serial protocol format will be able to control the
console. Consult Audioarts Technical Support for more details on en-
abling this functionality.
