User manual RANE RPE 228D

[. . . ] Be careful to select the COM port which is physically connected to the RPE 228d. Several clues indicate communication between the computer and the RPE 228d. The yellow COM (communications) light on the unit should flash periodically. The Memory numbers (1-16) near the top of the computer screen should be black rather than grey. [. . . ] For example, turning ON the switches labeled `1' and `2' yields address `3'. In the following table, 0 means switch down (OFF), 1 means switch up (ON), and the left-most digit corresponds to the switch labeled `128'. Rane provides a special calculator to assist in setting the dip switches on the back of each unit. In the RaneWare program group or folder, launch the RaneWare Address Calculator. This binary calculator converts decimal numbers into corresponding dipswitch settings. 151 10010111 51 00110011 101 01100101 1 00000001 152 10011000 52 00110100 102 01100110 2 00000010 153 10011001 53 00110101 103 01100111 3 00000011 154 10011010 54 00110110 104 01101000 4 00000100 155 10011011 55 00110111 105 01101001 5 00000101 156 10011100 56 00111000 106 01101010 6 00000110 157 10011101 57 00111001 107 01101011 7 00000111 158 10011110 58 00111010 108 01101100 8 00001000 159 10011111 59 00111011 109 01101101 9 00001001 160 10100000 60 00111100 110 01101110 10 00001010 161 10100001 61 00111101 111 01101111 11 00001011 162 10100010 62 00111110 112 01110000 12 00001100 163 10100011 63 00111111 113 01110001 13 00001101 164 10100100 64 01000000 114 01110010 14 00001110 165 10100101 65 01000001 115 01110011 15 00001111 166 10100110 66 01000010 116 01110100 16 00010000 167 10100111 67 01000011 117 01110101 17 00010001 168 10101000 68 01000100 118 01110110 18 00010010 169 10101001 69 01000101 119 01110111 19 00010011 170 10101010 70 01000110 120 01111000 20 00010100 171 10101011 71 01000111 121 01111001 21 00010101 172 10101100 72 01001000 122 01111010 22 00010110 173 10101101 73 01001001 123 01111011 23 00010111 174 10101110 74 01001010 124 01111100 24 00011000 175 10101111 75 01001011 125 01111101 25 00011001 176 10110000 76 01001100 126 01111110 26 00011010 177 10110001 77 01001101 127 01111111 27 00011011 178 10110010 78 01001110 128 10000000 28 00011100 179 10110011 79 01001111 129 10000001 29 00011101 180 10110100 80 01010000 130 10000010 30 00011110 181 10110101 81 01010001 131 10000011 31 00011111 182 10110110 82 01010010 132 10000100 32 00100000 183 10110111 83 01010011 133 10000101 33 00100001 184 10111000 84 01010100 134 10000110 34 00100010 185 10111001 85 01010101 135 10000111 35 00100011 186 10111010 86 01010110 136 10001000 36 00100100 187 10111011 87 01010111 137 10001001 37 00100101 188 10111100 88 01011000 138 10001010 38 00100110 189 10111101 89 01011001 139 10001011 39 00100111 190 10111110 90 01011010 140 10001100 40 00101000 191 10111111 91 01011011 141 10001101 41 00101001 192 11000000 92 01011100 142 10001110 42 00101010 193 11000001 93 01011101 143 10001111 43 00101011 194 11000010 94 01011110 144 10010000 44 00101100 195 11000011 95 01011111 145 10010001 45 00101101 196 11000100 96 01100000 146 10010010 46 00101110 197 11000101 97 01100001 147 10010011 47 00101111 198 11000110 98 01100010 148 10010100 48 00110000 199 11000111 99 01100011 149 10010101 49 00110001 200 11001000 100 01100100 150 10010110 50 00110010 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225 226 227 228 229 230 231 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 11001001 11001010 11001011 11001100 11001101 11001110 11001111 11010000 11010001 11010010 11010011 11010100 11010101 11010110 11010111 11011000 11011001 11011010 11011011 11011100 11011101 11011110 11011111 11100000 11100001 11100010 11100011 11100100 11100101 11100110 11100111 11101000 11101001 11101010 11101011 11101100 11101101 11101110 11101111 11110000 11110001 11110010 11110011 11110100 11110101 11110110 11110111 11111000 11111001 11111010 Manual-4 RANEWARE REQUIREMENTS · RaneWare works under Microsoft Windows 3. 1, 95, 98 or NT® on a PC or laptop with an available serial port. · RW 232 needs a DB-9 cable less than 50' long, connecting from the serial port of a computer to the RW 232 Control Input port. · RaneWare can be fully demonstrated and used without an actual RPE 228d attached. The latest version is downloadable anytime from Rane's web site, http://www. rane. com. First, go to System > System Setup to select a Serial Port. Next, go to Device > Select, where you may select and poll for units. This process checks if any RW 232 units are connected to the serial port. (If not, with an RPE connected, read the Help file [Reference, Troubleshooting Hints]). If you don't have an RPE connected, you can still use RaneWare offline. Checking the Both box under Graph Display shows both Channels at the same time, but only the active Channel's sliders can be operated. You'll find Low and High Cut filters, Input and Output level controls, Mute and Bypass switches, just like our other high end equalizers. Flatten does just that, and gives you a clean slate on either or both Channels by clicking in the submenu. The Views menu lets you switch between viewing a single channel with graph and sliders, or both sets of sliders on one screen, or both graphs on one screen. Memories Device > Edit MRP Configuration The red Memory number flashes to indicate that the current Memory settings have changed. If you wish to save these settings in one of the 16 Memories, simply click Store, and the Memory number key. After storing a few, clicking any Memory number instantly recalls that Memory. Store your favorites in Memories 1 through 8, since these can be recalled via the rear panel MEMORY RECALL PORT contact closures when the computer is removed. To change a curve without affecting the audio in the RPE, simply select Local Edit before making any changes, make them, and re-click Local Edit. [. . . ] If Muting has little effect, the problem is likely either the Output connection, or equipment driven by the Output. The RPE 228d is intended to connect with equipment with balanced audio I/O and chassis-grounded shield/common. Connecting equipment with signal grounded shields or unbalanced connections may result in hum or noise due to induced currents in the signal path. It may be possible to reduce or eliminate these problems, although some experimentation may be required: Try disconnecting the audio cable shields at one end, particularly between chassis grounded and signal grounded equipment.
