4.
Creating Power Amps. Clicking the right mouse button within the Worksheet opens a Configuration Dialog. Click
on Add Devices... using the left mouse button, drag the required power amps out of the device list and drop them
in the worksheet area. Specify the number of devices to be created as well as the start address. The interface of
the N8000 is preselected. The amplifiers appear on the computer screen when hitting OK.
5.
Network Connection. If your computer is already connected to the N8000, you are able to go ON-LINE. Check the
N8000 manual for details about Ethernet configuration. The network dialog window indicates which power amps
are connected/linked and whether the connection is okay or not. Now is the moment to decide, whether you want
to continue with the configuration in ON-LINE or OFF-LINE mode.
6.
Creating Groups. Open the Configuration Dialog by clicking the right mouse button while the cursor is located
over the worksheet window. Use the left mouse button and click on Add Control...and drag a Group element into
the worksheet. Right clicking on the Group icon followed by a click on Properties opens the group properties
dialog. Now, you are able to make the desired settings. It is also here, that you can specify which panel opens by
double-clicking the group icon. Creating groups is always recommended, when several power amps or power amp
channels are to be controlled or configured simultaneously. Typical examples are:
–
System Group: Switching On / Off, Change Presets, Master EQ
–
HF / LF Groups: Uniform configuration for X-Over and speaker system equalization
–
Left / Right Groups: Common operation features of the PA system (left / right)
7.
Loading Preset Data Into Groups. While being in the Group Properties dialog you can specify that double-clicking
the group icon automatically opens the Setup & Control window. The IMPORT PRESET and EXPORT PRESET soft
keys are located on the DSP FLOW DIAGRAM page under the DSP tab. Clicking IMPORT PRESET opens a selection
box that allows choosing from the Preset files. Selecting and opening a file transmits its stored parameters to all
power amps associated with that group. Afterward, you need to save these setting in a free User Memory
(U02...U08).
8.
Setting Group Parameters. Opening the Setup & Control window by double-clicking a group icon lets you use the
DSP Dialogs to set all parameters of all power amps within one group at the same time. This ensures that all
parameter values of all devices within a group are identical.
9.
Creating Additional Pages. Open the Configuration Dialog by clicking the right mouse button while the cursor is
located over the worksheet window. Use the left mouse button and click on Add Layer. This creates a new page
(layer). Now, you have to name it (e.g. Control Page). IRIS-Net allows the use of up to 32 layers.
10. Designing User Control Panels. The IRIS-Net software allows the creation of various control panels, which can be
customized to suit the needs of a project and the needs of the users. Freely programmable control elements,
bitmaps, text boxes and scripts are provided for you to do so. Selecting Add Control in the Configuration Dialog
(right click on the worksheet) opens a list of control elements. Drag the needed elements into the worksheet area
and place them as desired. To select and place bitmaps and text boxes, follow the same procedure accordingly
(Add Bitmap..., Add Textbox...). In case you need several similar control groups, start with creating one group.
Once you are finished with that particular group, select the entire group by dragging a highlight box around it and
Copy/Paste it. Alternatively you can save the complete group as a User Control (Save User Control menu
command) and reuse the User Control in various other projects.
11. Programming User Control Panels. Control elements of control panels can be used to control or to indicate various
power amp parameters. A click with the right mouse button onto the control element opens the corresponding
configuration dialog. Choose Administrate Connections and select the desired connection for the control element
(power amps, groups, other control elements) from the connections list. Select Modify Properties for setting/
modifying the control element’s properties. Click in the line on the right next to function and select one or several
parameters to be controlled from the parameter listing. If needed, set additional control element properties
accordingly. Afterwards, make sure to test the control element’s functions.
12. Programming Power Amplifier Parameters. A double click on a power amplifier icon opens the Amplifier Control
Panel. The Amplifier Control Panel allows naming power amps and channels, switching power amps on / off,
setting level controls and mutes, and assigning and monitoring input or output signals to the monitor bus. Click on
the SET button to open the Setup & Control Window. This window includes five different pages: Config & Info,
