PCI-822 User’s Guide
Software Reference
The PCI-822 has both Macintosh and Windows 95/98 drivers.
The Macintosh PCI-822 control panel includes two tabs —
Clock/Device Status, and System. The Windows PCI-822 control panel
includes three tabs — Clock/Device Status, Patchbay, and System.
Each tab contains several sections, each with one or more fields.
Macintosh Control Panel
On a Macintosh, you can open the PCI-822 control panel by selecting
‘Control Panels > PCI-822’ from the Apple menu. For convenience,
you may want to make an alias on your desktop for the control panel:
1. Open the System folder on your hard drive.
2. Open the Control Panels folder, and click once on the PCI-822 icon to
select it.
3. Select ‘Make Alias’ from the File menu.
4. Drag the new alias icon to the desired location on your desktop.
Windows Control Panel
Whenever the PCI-822 is installed in your system, an icon with two
bars appears in the Windows Taskbar (usually at the bottom of the
screen). The top bar lights red whenever any PCI-822 input is active,
and blinks whenever an active input has an error
(see the “Clock/Device Status Tab” section for
details about input errors). The bottom bar lights
green whenever any PCI-822 output is active.
Double-clicking on the icon opens the Clock/Device
Status tab of the PCI-822 control panel. You can also right-click on
the icon to display a menu that lets you go directly to any of the three
tabs.
To open the PCI-822 control panel from the Start menu, navigate to
Settings
g
Control Panel, and double-click on the “PCI-822” icon.
