DOUT gates

[eptheca]

I have SEQ V4 (STM32F4) with ilmenators BLM 16x4 and TPD.

I want to add a DOUT Shift Register for gates.

Should I connect this SR at the end of the chain, after the TPD?

How should I write this in the config file MBSEQ_HW.V4 ?

If Wilbas CS uses 2, the BLM 9 and the TPD 6, is SR 17 correct?

If this is the place in the config file, what does "Allowed values: 1-16" mean?

# AOUT interface now selected in CV Configuration Menu and stored in MBSEQ_CV.V4 file
# please scroll through the menu to find this page!

# additional gate triggers are available on common digital output pins of the
# DOUT shift register chain - they are assigned to AOUT channel #16 (Note C-1, C#1, D-1, ...)
# define the shift registers which should be used here (each provides 8 gates)
# Note that SRs assigned to this function cannot be used as LED outputs (exclusive function)
# Allowed values: 1-16, 0 disables the function, all other values invalid and not allowed
DOUT_GATE_SR1   0
DOUT_GATE_SR2   0

DOUT_GATE_SR4   0
DOUT_GATE_SR5   0
DOUT_GATE_SR6   0
DOUT_GATE_SR7   0
DOUT_GATE_SR8   0

# if set to 1, the DOUT "gates" will send 1mS pulses
# useful for analog drums

Your configuration is outdated, please find valid information in the hwcfg/wilba_tpd/MBSEQ_HW.V4 file which is part of the release package.

There you will find a new parameter which allows to enable more SRIOs:

# maximum number of connected shift registers in a DIN or DOUT chain (1..23)
SRIO_NUM_SR    23

and you will find an update in the comments which refer to valid SR ranges
