Driver
•
Always required for operation of OPTIMOD-PC, except as noted in the section
Hardware I/O and PCI Expansion Chassis on page 4-3.
•
Provides basic sound card operation for Windows WAVE I/O.
•
Provides advanced sound card operation when used with Control Application
and Service.
•
Cold boot without OPTIMOD-PC Service: driver loads default I/O and default
DSP.
•
Cold boot: driver loads defined I/O and default DSP.
•
Warm boot: driver does not reload DSP.
•
The driver is not required for OPTIMOD-PC to pass audio from its hardware ana-
log or digital inputs to its hardware outputs. Therefore, if Windows fails, the
OPTIMOD-PC hardware I/O continues to pass and process audio as normal. If
OPTIMOD-PC is located in an external PCI chassis, the host computer can lose
power or be turned off and OPTIMOD-PC will continue to pass and process audio
normally.

The Service is not required for computers that only remotely access OPTIMOD-PC
cards and where no OPTIMOD-PC card is installed locally.

Control Application from the Windows System Tray.
