There are 2 modes of operation: PROGRAM and RECEIVE mode In the receive mode there are 2 modes: DECODE
and HEX, selected in the program mode The PCB powers in a receive mode Within these modes the last messages or
bytes can be viewed by pressing the ‘hold’ button (11) and the user can scroll the data by using the Left (10) and Right (12)
buttons Note that a complete MTC message is actually eight bytes combined, when viewing the MTC in the HOLD mode,
each message is broken down into the eight messages Full Message, User Bit, and Midi Cueing messages are decoded
and displayed as one message
PROGRAM MODE

Decode or Hex Mode - Selects the operational mode, ‘Decode mode’
decodes the incoming data, ‘Hex mode’ displays the incoming data in a
hexadecimal format without decoding
Filter F1 - If YES is selected no ‘Midi Time Code’ (F1) message is
received or stored
Filter F8 - If YES is selected no ‘Time Clock’ (F8) message is received
or stored
Filter FE - If YES is selected no ‘Active Sensing’ (FE) message is
received or stored
Data ED - If ON is selected, all data traffic is shown (except ‘Midi Time
Code’ (F1), ‘Time Clock’ (F8), and ‘Active Sensing (FE) messages) If
OFF is selected the LED is used ONLY to display the HOLD mode
Restore Defaults - Select ‘yes’ to load the factory default settings The
settings will be stored and the unit will return to a receive mode

* An ‘M’ = MSB Most Significant Byte) and an ‘L’ = LSB
Least Significant Byte). If followed by; an ‘h’ indicates hexadecimal format data.
By pressing the ‘HOLD’ button the unit enters the Hold 1 mode The LED indicator will come on The display will be HOLD
the current LCD display and has not yet entered the “scrollable” HOLD mode This allows the user to stop the incoming
