ASPEN Firmware Update 10Apr2012

SPN16i v1.4.5

  1. Enhanced the "prgoutpl" command. Formerly it was used to generate a single pulse on a programmable output. Now the user may specify a number of pulses to be generated as an argument to the command for example: "prgoutpl(1)=3".

ASPEN Firmware Update 28Nov2011

SPN16i v1.4.3

  1. Fixed bug causing intermittent "failure to detect" problems in multi-unit systems when system was powered up. The master unit might fail to recognize one or more slave units, typically the bottom-most unit. This occurred only rarely when all units were powered up simultaneously, but happened more often when the units in the system was powered up one by one, using the front panel switches. The problematic sequence was master unit first, followed by slaves. The fix results in correct detection of all slave units by the master regardless of the order in which units in the system are powered up.
  2. Changes to TCP and HTTP port numbers no longer take effect until after power is cycled.

ASPEN Firmware Update 18Oct2011

SPN16i v1.4.1

  1. Added new programmable output function "Monitor Virtual Programmable Input". This is similar to the existing "Monitor Programmable Input" function, but applies to the "Virtual" programmable inputs, which mirror the state of the rear panel programmable inputs on the master unit of a multi-unit system. Supported by ASPEN Control Panel version 1.4.0 and higher.
  2. Added a secondary TCP port, whose port number is always the "next" port number after that of primary TCP port, e.g. if the primary port number is 4080, then the secondary port number is 4081. This allows simultaneous TCP connections with both a 3rd party control application (on primary port) and the ASPEN Control Panel for monitoring/debugging purposes (on secondary port).
  3. Added new event "Monitor Input Channel Activity". This event will fire when the input channel activity status of any mix bus changes, and run a user specified macro. Supported by ASPEN Control Panel version 1.4.0 and higher.

ASPEN Firmware Update 15Jul2011

SPN16i v1.3.2

  1. Matrix Crosspoint Rear Panel gain control feature revised to make it similar to the existing schemes for Rear Panel Input and Output gain control. A separate gain register is now used for rear panel crosspoint gain values, with the total gain of a crosspoint now the algebraic sum of the "main" and "rear panel" gain values (previously the "main" crosspoint gain value was directly affected by rear panel control actions).
  2. New commands "rpxpgn" and "rpxpgnst" are added to query/update values in the new rear panel crosspoint gain register. Rear panel Input channel "gain minimum" values apply to matrix crosspoints. Rear panel crosspoint gain values reset to zero on preset recall unless marked as protected in the "Preset Recall Protected Settings" options.
  3. Rear panel "save" and "restore" operations now include saving/restoring the state of the rear panel crosspoint gain register, and rear panel crosspoint gain/mute values can be "masked off" in the "preset recall protected settings" parameter so that they are not affected by preset recall operations.
  4. Fix bug causing status of "virtual" programmable input to be incorrectly reported when "Analog Crosspoint RP Gain Control" function is selected.
  5. Fix bug in 'analog crosspoint rp gain' function where assignments to mix buses 25-48 were ignored and assignments to mix buses 1-24 were repeated in the range 25-48 for a given input channel.
