6.1.10 Setting the audio cycle and the synchronization source
The
X.8
hardware is equipped with two basic masters to set the sampling rate. In the
X.8
GUI menu
File
, in the
Device Settings
option on the
Device
tab page, you can choose between
the sampling rates 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz and 96 kHz. Once you have made your
selection, this activates a switchover in the
X.8
which is always saved there.
From the point of view of the ASIO driver on your PC, the audio cycle of the
X.8
is the
master for the ASIO data.
You can select the synchronization source in the
X.8
GUI above the In 7/8 channel selector
(see section 6.1.6). At the present time, only
Master
can be selected here: The
X.8
configured in each case is the clock master. This setting also influences the treatment of the
sampling rate of the two S/PDIF-In channels (IN 7/8) (see section 6.1.8).
Future firmware versions will also have an additional option “Slave” (S/PDIF-In clock
master).
Please notice: Some ASIO-applications do not automatically detect a change of the sample
rate. Before changing the device´s sample rate please close any open measurement or
streaming software that is making use of
the
X.8
(e.g. SysTune). Perform the change and
then reopen the software. This assures the program will identify the sample rate change.
6.1.11 Loading and saving settings
The actual
X.8
GUI settings can be saved in a file so that they can be reproduced for
different measurement scenarios.
To get to the GUI dialogs for opening and saving the settings, go to menu option
File/Open
Setup...
or
File/Save Setup...
