DM Series Installation Guide

Introduction

The purpose of this guide is to assist in the setup and 

operation of a typical DM system.  This guide assumes 

familiarity with the DM Series Digital Audio Processors, 

its components and software menus and setup screens.  

To get the most out of the DM system, it is suggested 

to review the information presented in the DM Series 

Reference Manual.
A detailed online Help is also available to assist in 

the setup and operation of a DM system using the 

USB interface and a Windows

® 

2000 or Windows

®

 XP 

computer system.  In addition to assistance setting 

up and operating the DM system, the Help includes a 

complete listing of the DM General Commands.  These 

commands can be used to setup and operate the DM 

system via external devices using either the USB or 

RS232 serial port.
