8. Configuring the HDSPe RayDAT
8.1 Settings Dialog
Configuration of the HDSPe RayDAT is done via its own settings dialog. The panel 'Settings' can
be opened:

by clicking on the hammer symbol in the Task Bar's notification area
The mixer of the HDSPe RayDAT (TotalMix) can be opened:

by clicking on the mixer icon in the Task Bar's notification area
The hardware of the HDSPe system offers a number of helpful, well thought-of practical func-
tions and options which affect how the card operates - it can be configured to suit many different
requirements. The following is available in the 'Settings' dialog:

Configuration of digital I/Os

Synchronization behaviour

State of input and output

Current sample rate

Latency
Any changes made in the Settings dia-
log are applied immediately - confirma-
tion (e.g. by clicking on OK or exiting
the dialog) is not required.
However, settings should not be
changed during playback or record if it
can be avoided, as this can cause un-
wanted noises.
Also, please note that even in 'Stop'
mode, several programs keep the re-
cording and playback devices open,
which means that any new settings
might not be applied immediately.
The status displays at the bottom of the
dialog box give the user precise infor-
mation about the current status of the
system, and the status of all digital sig-
nals.
The tab
About includes information
about the current driver version.
Buffer Size
The setting Buffer Size determines the latency between incoming and outgoing ASIO and WDM
data, as well as affecting system stability (see chapter 10).
