The Amp Info panel can be accessed by double-clicking the Amp Info button from the Main CDi DriveCore Control panel (Figure 32). The Amp Info panel (Figure 33) displays amplifier information such as current firmware version, power supply temperature, channel temperature, and more.
The following functions can also be configured from the Amp Info panel:
Front Panel Lockout: When turned on, the front panel controls will be locked to prevent tampering. The exception is the power button, which will remain functional.
TIP: The front panel controls can also be locked directly from the front panel, however, if the front panel has been locked from Audio Architect, it must be unlocked from Audio Architect.
Front Panel Blackout Mode: Turns the front panel display on or off.
Amp Status Port: Selects whether a 2Hz square wave heartbeat or +5VDC signal is sent to the Amp Status pin on the AUX port — either can be used to remotely determine amp health/status.
Mute Input: Determines which channels will be muted when using GPIO Input 1 (pin 3). By default, a high condition will cause all checked input channels to mute. Checking the Invert checkbox will invert the polarity/functionality, meaning a low condition will cause all checked inputs to mute.
Fault Output: Inverts the polarity/functionality of GPIO Output 1 (pin 1). When checked, GPIO Output 1 will indicate an amp fault when in a low state, rather than the default high state. See "System Protection" on page 59 for more information on faults.
Preset Recall Input: Loads one of two presets depending on the high/low state of Input 2 (pin 5) on the GPIO port. By default, these values are set to 0, which disables the function.
Manual Aux Output: When this button is switched on, GPIO pin 2 (Output 2 ) will go high; when the button is off the state will be low. This provides a general purpose output which can be used to control many external devices such as relays, indicators, PLC system controllers, or any other 3rd party device with logic control inputs. This button can be controlled from its default loacation on the Amp Info panel, from a user-created custom control panel, using logic functions in Audio Architect, or from a compatible HiQnet wall controller. The state of this button and the resulting output are stored/recalled along with device presets.
