The M20 User Interface Protocol (Continued):

Search

N

Y

N

Toggles the transport control between the Jog/Shuttle
wheel and the transport buttons.  When enabled, the
Search button LED will light, and the state of the wheel
will determine what mode (Jog or Shuttle) and direction
(Reverse or Forward) is applied to the transport.

Defaults to disabled for transport button control.  The
Search button is ignored when in Record, Record Pending,
Auto Rec Pending, Rehearse, and Format modes.

N

Selects the M20 (master or slaves) in a system that will
provide the park point location for all online machines
after a Jog/Shuttle operation.  To edit this parameter,
press and hold the Search button on the master M20 for
2 seconds.  Continue to hold the Search button and use
the up/down arrows or alpha-numeric keypad to select
the search master machine (1 to 8, or None).  If "None"
is selected, all M20s will park independently after a
search (i.e. no search master).

Defaults to machine 1 as the search master.  Available on
the ID1 (master) M20 only.  Use this feature to more
accurately find and mark location points when scrubbing
the Aux track of a slave machine.

Eject

Removes the tape from the transport.  Following pro
VCR convention, the Eject button LED is on when the
transport is empty and off when a tape is loaded.

Pressing Eject from the ID 01 master will eject the tapes in
all onlined slaves.  Eject is ignored when recording or
formatting.
