6.1.1 Step 1: Choose Settings
The Choose Settings selection enables selection of the input, as well as the entire path for audio
from the selected input, through all of the device options, and then to the output. The path
descriptions are listed in an abbreviated form to fit within the GUI display.
The Choose Settings selection also enables choosing various possible outputs and output
combinations that will work with the selected input. These selections may be scrolled one-at-a-
time using the up/down arrows in the output selection area. They may also be selected directly
by clicking on the text of the output path that is shown. This will open a pop up a window showing
all of the possible output selections, and then the desired selection can be made directly.
6.1.2 Step 2: Load Settings
Clicking on this button will cause all of the desired settings to be loaded into the audio device
being tested. Additionally, any necessary changes to the EVB initialization or configuration will be
performed automatically at this time.
While the settings are being loaded, the Status Indicators at the bottom left of the screen may
change from Green to White. IMPORTANT: If the configuration was successfully completed, all
three Status Indicators will be Green, and the configuration is now ready for evaluation.
6.1.3 Step 3: Evaluate Sound
The bottom portion of the screen includes a few controls that enable experimentation with some
of the settings that can be changed on the audio device being tested. These can be changed
using the GUI, and the effect on the device will be immediate. Do NOT push the "Load Settings"
button again while using this feature. This will cause all of the settings to revert to the original
selected Demo configuration.
At this time, it may be useful to select any of the other Control Tabs. These make available many
more controls and features that can be changed after the Demo selection has been loaded.
