DOC02-CDC MC Dante Issue C - November 2016
Appendix A: Example of Simple System Test Setup
This is the simplest test to configure, as it requires no DAW or digital audio on the PC and no virtual
soundcard software (this is licenced software and costs money!). It also enables a back to back
analogue audio test to be performed using the dScope.
Connect up equipment as shown below, apply power and switch on:
PC (i5 Intel 16 Gb Ram min spec)
Gigabit Ethernet Port
Cat5e / 6 Cable
