Connect to AmpTraXX
Clicking this button will establish a live connection to AmpTraXX. While in
Live Mode
,
adjusting any of the
on-screen controls will affect AmpTraXX in real-time. Filters, frequency, filter quality, and gain
can all be
tweaked without affecting the permanent settings stored in AmpTraXX. Also, while in
Live Mode
,
AmpTraXX will constantly be monitored for connection, status, and Gain values (if the front panel is enabled).
Disconnect from AmpTraXX
This button will only be visible if you are in
Live Mode
. Clicking this button will simply sever the connection
between AmpTraXX and the application.
Store Settings to AmpTraXX
This button actually has 2 different, yet similar, functions depending on your connection status with
AmpTraXX:
Offline Mode:
This button will open a connection with AmpTraXX, download the on-screen settings, and store
them in AmpTraXX’s non-volatile memory. This means that AmpTraXX will remember these settings if it is
every power-cycled. Once this transfer is complete, the connection with AmpTraXX will be terminated.
Live Mode:
The only functional difference between clicking this button in
Live Mode
instead of
Offline Mode
is that in
Live Mode
, AmpTraXX already has the current settings. Therefore, there is no need to resend that
information or establish a connection. The sole function of this button is to cause AmpTraXX to store its
current settings in non-volatile memory, so that it remembers its current state in the event of power loss.
Retrieve Settings from AmpTraXX
This button will only be visible if you are in
Offline Mode
. If clicked, the AmpTraXX application will open a
temporary connection with AmpTraXX and retrieve its current settings. These settings will be reflected on the
on-screen controls, and then the connection will be terminated.
