A.6 - Tips, Tricks and Troubleshooting
Speaker Tunings
Various “Speaker Tunings” are available for some of the different DriveRack units; on the DriveRack
480 units speaker tunings can be downloaded from the website, whereas on the DriveRack 260 the
speaker tunings are found in the Wizard function. Since they are not all available for the same platforms
there is a mechanism to replicate these tunings from one DriveRack type to the next. Open the platform
that has the speaker tuning. Open a second DriveWare window and insert the DriveRack unit that
will be your final platform; for example if you want to create JBL AE tunings for the DriveRack 480
series, open a DriveWare window with a 260 in it, and one with the 480. Download or use the Wizard
function to get the correct tunings on the first DriveRack unit. Since the AE tunings are available for
the DriveRack 260, you would go through the Wizard function to create the appropriate tuning for the
260. Create the correct configuration for the destination unit and then Copy and Paste parameters where
available and otherwise copy the parameters from one unit to the next. For our example you would
create the correct configuration for the DriveRack 480 and then Copy and Paste parameters that can
be pasted, and manually copy and enter the parameters from the 260 into the 480. Since the DriveRack
devices use the same algorithms there will be very little difference between them.
DriveWare Communication
If you are having difficulty connecting your DriveRack device with your computer, there are a few things
that can be done to find the source of the problem and correct it.
HotSync Manager
If you use a Palm
®
computing device, the HotSync Manager generally takes control of your COM port;
you must disable your HotSync Manager to get DriveWare to connect to your DriveRack unit. This can
be done by right clicking on the HotSync Manager icon down on the toolbar. You can then select Exit;
this will allow DriveWare to use your COM port. The HotSync Manager will return when you reboot
your computer.
COM port Selection
If you are using anything other than your first COM port, you will need to go into Preferences and select
the correct COM port. Preferences are found under File on the DriveWare Menu Bar.
