GC Operation 4-117
Please note that the edited file must be applied to the console before it
takes effect.
Existing Monitor Configuration files can be edited by recalling them with
the Load button and using the procedures described above.
Note (D950 only): Only digital monitor sources can be assigned using the Monitoring Setup
utility. Source Selections with external analog sources can only be as-
signed via a direct manipulation of the Monitor Configuration Initializa-
tion file. This is usually done in the factory during the initial software
setup.
It is strongly recommended that direct modification of this file
should be performed only by qualified personnel (the friendly folks at
Studer, for example). If an analog source is assigned to a Selector key, the
loudspeaker selection fields will be “grayed-out” and no source selection
will be possible using the Monitoring Setup utility.
Enable Setup Mode: (D950 only; for Vista, see “Option – Vista Settings”, chapter 4.6.5.8 )
This action enables the monitor setup mode. Checking this menu item al-
lows the
SETUP key on the desk’s (multi-format) monitor panel to func-
tion. When illuminated, a level offset may be applied to each of the in-
stalled speaker systems. Offsets may be applied over a range from –20
t10 dB in 1 dB and 0.5 dB increments. The monitor panel will
display the offset in dB.
To use this facility:
•
First enable the Monitor Setup mode from the Monitor section of the
SysAdmin menu;
• Then engage the
SETUP
key on the monitor panel and select the
monitor system to receive the offset;
• Enter the desired offset value for each system;
• Complete the process by disengaging the
SETUP
key and deactivate
the Monitor Setup mode.
Config Dump: This action will create a copy of the current Monitor Configuration file
and place it in the
D950SYSTEM
directory. The copied file will be named
MONCONFIGDUMP.DAT
and is useful for troubleshooting. In this status this
file is not executable since it does not have a
*.ini
extension. However, it
does contain all the parameter settings and other information.
Reinitialize: This action will reinitialize the monitor system and reload the last used
Monitor Configuration file. The monitors will mute during this operation.
Test Command: This menu item is only used in the factory for testing the communication
between the work-surface, the control PC, and the monitoring racks.
