Console Status and Relays
The list will show relay setup for console status events. The columns show the console status items and the relay
for each item. Console status relays are latching only.
MIC-LIVE A and MIC-LIVE B
These are the 'virtual' busses that are activated by a clear signal path from a mic input to an output. When this
condition is met then either or both of the Mic Live busses will close the specified relay.
TALKBACK 1 and TALKBACK 2
The specified relay will close when the Talkback bus is activated. This will also happen if an opto-isolated input
activates Mix Minus Talkback.
There is only one talkback at present.
AFL
The specified relay will close when the AFL solo bus is active.
PFL
The specified relay will close when the PFL solo bus is active. This will also happen if an opto-isolated input
activates PFL on a path.
SNAPSHOT MSB and SNAPSHOT LSB
These are used to specify a range of relays that represent the current Snapshot number in binary form. The
relays should not be used for anything else. The LSB relay number must be after the MSB relay number (see
example below).
The number of the Snapshot is as it is numbered in the current Snapshot file (see Filing and Snapshot).
The MSB (most significant bit) is the highest digit in the binary number and the LSB (least significant bit) is the
unary digit (i.e. the 'ones' column of the number). Each relay represents 1 when it is closed or 0 when it is open.
The following table illustrates an example using four relays (33 to 36) for snapshot numbers:
MSB Relays in between LSB Snapshot

Relay 34

Relay 35
(binary 2)
Relay 36
