gains in calibration modes, for example).
Unders tanding the Dis play
During typical use, the fields in the display have these meanings:
Hardware interface type:
Handheld model number:
Mode Identifier:
USB
HHSC-1x4-D
HID KEY 12345 001
Mode number
So, in this case, a four button diamond handheld device is in use, and this is sending USB HID keyboard output '1','2','3', etc.,
for button presses.
Pushing the knob, would cause the display to change to this:
CHANGE MODES ?
NO YES
Pushing the knob again immediately would revert the display to the previous one-- this is just a way to abort the change and
go back to the mode that was active.
If "YES" is selected (by turning the knob), these choices are presented:
¤ AUTOCONFIG
MANUAL CONFIG
MODE BY ID NO
Turn the knob and then press to confirm your choice.
These 3 ways of choosing a configuration are described in the next 3 sections.
Us ing AUTOCONFIG
The AUTOCONFIG choice tells the interface to determine as much as it can about the connected handheld device and the
cabling to the host computer. This should simplify the choices that need to be made by you.
If a handheld device is connected when AUTOCONFIG starts, the interface will attempt to identify it and to set the gain
properly on its channels. (Because the gain is automatically determined at this time, the system should work reliably both
with and without removable bundles connected.)
Also, if a cable (usually a serial cable or a USB cable) is connected to a host computer, the interface will identify that cable
and limit the available mode choices to ones which are compatible with that cable. (For instance, only serial modes will be
displayed if the serial cable is connected).
So, in the case that you've connected both the handheld device and a cable to the host, you will normally see a display
asking you to choose the output format you want. This is done by rotating the knob and pressing it to make a selection. The
specific choices that will be presented depend on the handheld device and the output cabling that are detected, but a typical
set of choices (for a button box, with USB cabling to the computer) would be:
¤ HID KEY BYRGT
HID KEY 12345
HID KEY NAR
The AUTOCONFIG approach is usually the best one to take, but there are situations in which it won't be able to automatically
determine the type of handheld device which is connected.
These devices can not be automatically identified:
older handheld devices (model numbers starting with HH- rather than HHSC- ; these have tubing with braided
