MACHINE PARAMETERS
Introduction
This document applies to Kernel ROM v1.08 and machine ROM v5.04.
The ES/2 machine interface may be configured to work with a wide range of Audio, Video and Film
as well as virtual machines. Optimum performance may be obtained from widely different
machines by careful adjustment of a set of machine parameters, accessible via the ES/2 display.
The Machine Rom contains all the sets of machine parameters currently provided by Audio
Kinetics as well as some software routines for providing machine specific commands. In operation
the machine parameters modify the behaviour of the Kernel Rom which performs all the generic
functionality of the ES/2.
This document is intended to describe these parameters and give some details of their use but it is
assumed that the reader is familiar with current tape machine technology and with interfacing
requirements.
The parameters are described in the order they appear in the ES/2 display editor. Gaps have been
left between logically grouped parameters to allow for future expansion. Only six characters are
used in the ES/2 display so where this differs from the full software label the display name is given
at the right of the page.
The parameters are organised into 12 groups as follows :
SERVO PARAMETERS
TACH PARAMETERS
PLAY AND WIND PARAMETERS
TEST PARAMETERS
LOCATE AND CHASE PARAMETERS
TALLY PARAMETERS
COMMAND PARAMETERS
COMMAND ROUTINE POINTERS
UNIFILM PARAMETERS
SERVO CONTROLLED WIND
SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS CONTROL
