Word Clock is selected as the master clock source, the control panel will display "Locked"
only when a valid S/PDIF or Word Clock signal is detected. It will display "Unlocked"
when there is no signal at the selected input, or when the signal is corrupt or invalid for
any reason.

CODEC SAMPLE RATE: This section indicates the present board sample rate, as set by
application software. The sample rate selected here will be used to drive the digital mixer
and all outputs. The "Rate Locked" checkbox is used to force a sample rate upon the
system. It is disabled by default to allow software access to all supported sample rates.
When checked, it causes the driver to only operate at the selected sample rate. This means
that any application that attempts to open the Delta 1010LT driver at a sample rate other
than the one selected here will fail to do so and will post an error message. "Reset Rate
When Idle" is selected when you want the sample rate to return to a particular setting
when a software application is not actively using the board. This is particularly handy for
keeping the digital mixer running at a specific sample rate. 

NOTE: Because the digital monitor mixer runs at the sample rate of
the rest of the board, and because sample rate directly affects
frequency response, it may be desirable to keep the sample rate at
or above 44.1 kHz while using the monitor mixer. This is
accomplished by enabling "Reset Rate When Idle" and selecting a
sample rate of 44.1 kHz or greater.

S/PDIF SAMPLE RATE: When using S/PDIF In as your master clock, this section tells the
driver what the expected S/PDIF input sample rate is. The section is only displayed when the
board is set to use S/PDIF In as the master clock source. From the list, select the sample rate
closest to that of the S/PDIF input data. The sample rate selected here will be the only sample
rate available to the software applications. Therefore, you must set your audio software
application to this same sample rate or else the application will display an error message. 

NOTE: When S/PDIF In is the master clock source, the digital
monitor mixer will run at the sample rate received at the S/PDIF In.
Since frequency response and sample rate are directly related, the
mixer frequency response will be directly related to the sample rate
of the S/PDIF input data.

WORD CLOCK SAMPLE RATE: When using Word Clock In as your master clock, this
section tells the driver what the expected word clock input sample rate is. The section is
only displayed when the board is set to use Word Clock In as the master clock source.
From the list, select the sample rate closest to that of the incoming word clock. The sample
rate selected here will be the only sample rate available to the software applications.
Therefore, you must set your audio software application to this same sample rate or else
the application will display an error message.

NOTE: When Word Clock is the master clock source, the digital
monitor mixer will run at the sample rate received at the Word
Clock in.  Since frequency response and sample rate are directly
related, the mixer frequency response will be directly related to the
sample rate of the S/PDIF input data.
