TOA M-9000M2

This driver is for the TOA M-9000M2 Pre-Amplifier.

Release History

1.0 Initial release of the driver.

1.01 Fixed re-initialization issue if TOA loses power.

RS-232 Serial Port Settings

The RS-232 Serial Interface on the DCM-1/e should be connected to the processor using a straight through cable. Baud Rates supported by the driver are 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, and 115200.

Output Configuration

Output Count - Enter the number of outputs to be configured. Up to 8 outputs are supported.

Output (1-8) Name - Enter the name to use for the output. This name will be used throughout the driver commands, variables and events for the respective output.

Output (1-8) Startup State - Select the state to use for the output upon driver initialization. The selections are Last State, On, and Off. When Last State is selected and the driver is run for the first time, the state will default to off, after which any subsequent processor reboots, the state will be the last state active for the output.

Output (1-8) Crosspoint Startup - Select which inputs are to be active on the output crosspoint upon driver initialization. The selections are Last Active Settings, Input 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 Active, All Active, and None Active. When Last Active Settings is selected and the driver is run for the first time, all inputs will be set to Not Active by default, after which any subsequent processor reboots, the active state for each input will be the last state active for the input with the last gain level on the specified output crosspoint. When Input 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 Active, or All Active is selected the specified input/s will be active with a default gain level of 0 dB.

Input Configuration

Input Count - Enter the number of inputs to be configured. Up to 8 inputs are supported.

Input (1-8) Name - Enter the name to use for the input. This name will be used throughout the driver commands, variables and events for the respective input.

Input (1-8) Startup State - Select the state to use for the input upon driver initialization. The selections are Last State, On, and Off. When Last State is selected and the driver is run for the first time, the state will default to off, after which any subsequent processor reboots, the state will be the last state active for the input.

Driver Notes

- Scene Memory Recall commands are not included in the driver as the TOA does not provide feedback for any of the changes that may take place to the pre-amplifier when the scene is recalled. A re-initialization of the driver would have to occur after each scene recall, which in turn would render the system unusable during this process.

- When the TOA powers up it recalls Scene 1 automatically. All feedback will be based off of the settings stored in Scene 1.

- The driver includes a RAW Driver Command for issuing commands not pre-defined in the driver. There is no feedback support for commands issued using the RAW Driver Command.
