version of software ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES FOR THE FOLLOWING
"MicroAudio BUS" PRODUCTS The following models are
"MicroAudio BUS" products: In the 1980s MicroAudio sold a
line of programmable equalizers and attenuators that were controlled via our
"MicroAudio BUS". At the time laptop computers were not readily
available so we developed our own proprietary data interface. This serial
data interface is NOT an RS232 connection, hence will not connect to the
serial port on the back of your computer. We developed a series of
programmers that the contractor could take into the field. Programming Devices equipped
with the MicroAudio BUS: There was one box that could accept RS232 signals from the serial port on a laptop and output the MicroAudio BUS. This was the Altec Lansing 8063 and MicroAudio SCOM1.0. The software to use with this box is Version 1.0, Revision 6. If you do not have a programming box for the MicroAudio BUS equalizers, these are available for rent from MicroAudio. For the original Altec software
on the MicroAudio BUS products, click here altecsoft. Connection for the Programmer
and the EQ POD: On the Model 28R/ 8063 connect
the cable when the EQ POD is turned off. The Model 28R/ 8063 derive their
power from the EQ POD. With the power off, connect the programming cable,
power up both the programmer and the EQ POD and program the EQ POD with your
settings. Power down both, then disconnect the cable. All products using the
MicroAudio BUS used the same cable. This cable has a band of black heat
shrink tubing on one end.
The EQ POD was always a DB9
female and the programmer was always a DB9 male. Note that pins 4 through 9
are straight through, but pins 1 to 3 are mixed. For instance, pin 1 on the
programmer goes to pin 2 on the EQ POD, etc. If you are making up this cable
be sure to place a band of black heat shrink around the cable (or electrical
tape). This will indicate that it is an EQ POD programming cable. NOTES FOR THE RS232 EQ POD
PRODUCTS There are 2 versions of
software for the EQ PODs that are driven from the laptop RS232 serial port,
one DOS and one Windows. The Windows version of software is MGFW1.33 (MicroGraphics For
Windows 1.33). Download this to a temporary folder and unzip it. Click on
"Setup" and let the program install it where it wishes. The other version is a DOS
version, Micro40a.
Download this to a temporary folder and unzip it. You may have to create a
folder to place this software, c:\Micro40a is best. There are two manuals that are
available for the EQ PODs and one for our MicroAudio Mixer. The EQ POD has a
MS Word format and a Windows Help file format. Click on here for the MS Word
manual or mgfw.hlp for the
Windows Help file. Software developed by IRP
Professional Sound for the MicroAudio and IRP products between 1998 and 2001
should not be used. Use the MicroAudio MGFW1.33 instead.
Unfortunately, the IRP software was not developed by MicroAudio and as many
bugs. Do not use version 1.22. Download this software for use
with the EQ POD1.5DTM, the first TOA 900 14 band DSP amplifier module. TOADSP This software will not
control the newer "series II" version module with 30 bands of
parametric. |
