3.4.5 AESI Input Control Functions - Channel Detail PageAESI Channel Detail PageActivate this detail view by double-clicking a channel group from the Overview Window.SRC – Sample Rate ConverterConverts incoming clock to match and sync to E Snake’s internal clock rate of 48kHz,selectable ON or OFF. Set to OFF when syncing to an external word clock or when syncingto AES clock being applied to channels 31 and 32 in input slot #4. (See section 2.1.3, Rearpanel connections.)LOCK IndicatorIlluminates to verify that the incoming signal’s clock has been identified and locked to theinternal clock.ERR IndicatorIlluminates when a problem prevents the incoming signal from being processed by the inputchannel.INPUT DATA WindowThree possible indications:PCM - Pulse Code Modulated will be displayed when inputting standard AES/EBU audio.Non-PCM – not Pulse Code Modulated, displayed when receiving other types of data.None – No data is present at the input.SAMPLE RATE Window
Identifies the sample rate of the incoming signal before it is presented to the Sample RateConverter.Dual MetersIndicate the digital signal strength of the incoming data.3.5 Advanced Functions3.5.1 Data backed up in real time.When an E Snake unit detects a change in settings it will record its settings to its non-volatileflash memory after the settings have been left unchanged for one minute. In the event of a powerfailure and restore, each unit will reboot to those settings that were last recorded in its memory.However, should the PC lose power or experience a lock-up, when it is rebooted it will need tore-load the settings that were in use at the time of the PC’s failure. E Snake control accomplishesthis by creating backup files on the PC of the application’s settings. These are written to a filewhen the settings have been left unchanged for sixty seconds. If an adjustment is made after thefirst backup file has been written, E Snake Control waits another sixty seconds and makes asecond file, leaving the first backup intact. After further adjustments, the first file is overwritten,then the second and so on . . . Alternating between two files ensures that there will always be agood backup file should a problem occur precisely at the instant a backup is being written.When the computer is shut down normally, the PC’s temporary backup files are erased. But if thecomputer is rebooted after a crash or power failure, E Snake Control will detect the presence ofthe latest temporary backup file and offer the operator the choice of loading all of the backed-upsettings into the PC. This ensures that the PC and the ES units in the network are synchronized.In addition, there is a Redundant Backup option that may be activated from the menu. This feature may be used to create a separate backup file on a removablemedium or network drive. In the event of a complete failure of the main PC or its hard drive, thisfile can be transferred to a backup PC.Enable this feature by opening the and selecting .Check the checkbox and then type the full path in the field or click on the ellipsis box and browse to the desired location, usually a removabledrive (floppy, Zip drive, USB memory stick, etc.)3.5.2 Upgrading firmware and software in the field.
