Selectable actions for various trigger types
• When the trigger type is other than “Level”
When Target is Ch1, Ch2, Ch3, or Ch4: Freeze, SS ?
Recall
Effect ? Recall, Effect ? Recall & Run, KF Run, KF
Stop, KF Rewind, KF Reverse Run, No Action
When Target is Proc: No Action
• When the trigger type is “Level”
When Target is Ch1, Ch2, Ch3, or Ch4: Aspect, No
Action
When Target is Proc: Format Aspect, Level Enable, No
Action
• “Level Enable” is a function that determines whether
GPI inputs are enabled (“Enable”) or disabled
(“Disable”) for the “Aspect” and “Format” actions that
can be used when the trigger type is Level. When Level
Enable is used, if the input is “Disable” then it is not
possible to switch “Aspect” or “Format” by GPI input.
If a GPI to switch “Aspect” or “Format” occurs when
powering the system off, the action triggered by the GPI
may start immediately before the power goes off and the
power may go off before the action is completed. This
may corrupt the setup settings. It is therefore
recommended to use Level Enable to avoid such a
situation.
• When the DME is an MKS-7470X/7471X, ”Format” is
disabled.
Carrying out level settings
To set the low level and high level, first set the trigger type
to “Level,” then use the following procedure.
