M-Drive DSP initialization | 21
9. Wait until DSP is successfully initilized
10. Close ProManager Plus™, only when the DSP has
been correctly initialized.
16 : 4.Programming M-Drive DSP
At this stage you should have already initialized your DSP board as a Powersoft model. This includes also some default
presets’ schemes designed by Powersoft, which are intended to represent a good starting point for your evaluation of the
amplifier, for a proper tuning of your speaker and for desired signal processing that you want to apply on your finished product.
The final steps of this chapter will also guide through the process of exporting the presets that you have designed as .pam files.
The exportation of these presets is an essential action if you desire to create a custom model for ArmoníaPlus™. In fact, you
will be asked to import them on following steps.
16 : 5.Setting M-Drive serial port
16 : 5.1. Automatic Discovery
1. Connect the amp module to the computer via the
RS485 connection on the interface board.
2. Set a unique ID number on the interface board by
means of the two rotary knobs: allowed values range from
01 to 99; 00 is reserved.
3. Turn the amplifier module on.
4. Verify the name assigned to the RS485 communication
port on your PC operating system (this can be done through
Microsoft Windows® Device Manager): the name should be
something like COM5, COM6 or so on, depending on the
number of the system built-in COM ports.
5. Open ArmoníaPlus, press the cogwheel in the lower
right-hand corner select the tab “Communication Manager”
on the option menu.
6. Make sure that the shown serial port number
corresponds to the USB-to-RS485 converter and press
Play for activating it, then press Apply.
7. Close the Option menu by clicking on OK.
