(f) 

Note

 above that the tool bars at the top of the 

Online Mode

 work area page, the opened DSP 

design layout and the DSP modules are now 

Red

 (not blue) indicating that you are in 

Online 

Mode. 

 

(g) 

Note:

  You can make parameter adjustments to the DSP modules while in 

Online Mode

.  When 

you do, upon switching back to 

Design Mode

 you will be asked “do you want to copy the 

Online 

Mode 

device parameter changes back to your project (file) – 

yes or no

”.  So you can make all 

kinds of parameter adjustment changes to the DSP modules in Online Mode, hear their effect 
live, and not affect the related DSP design project file as saved on your PC if you select “

No

” from 

that menu.  Or select 

Yes

 to modify your project file and continue working or 

Yes

 and 

Save As

 

immediately to save the changed processor settings to a brand new project

 

file.

  

Careful here 

not to write over your saved project file if you do not mean to

.

 

20.   Working Offline: 

  Of course you can import an Uno App, work on a DSP design project and save it to a file while   
  “

Offline

” - no processor device connected, no Map Physical Device action taken and   

  without transferring your work to the processor device right away.  Then later, connect   
  processor, open your saved project, Map Physical Device, and transfer/save your saved DSP  
  design project file to the processor device by selecting the “Switch to Online Mode” button. 
 

21.   Open Design Project:  

The “

Open Design Project

” selection in the NeuConsole Startup window or 

Open Project

 as    

selected under File is where you open or access previously worked on and saved DSP design 
project files - as compared to creating a New Design Project as we did in this guide above. 

  In both cases the saved DSP design project file once opened will appear in your Project 

View/ Design Mode work area – along with the specific Uno processor module used in the 
saved design project.  Double click the processor module in the work area to view the saved 
DSP design project / schematic layout.  Double click DSP modules to open them and make 
parameter adjustments as required. 

  Save your work as you go and the balance of your work operations     

                                 

are the same as described above in New Design Project. 
 

22.   Component Properties Menu:                                                                         

   

 

The 

Component Properties

 menu on the right side of the 

Project View

 work area 

normally provides the means to alter specific characteristics of each individual DSP 
Module and to make name changes when the NeuConsole software is used in 
conjunction with a Neutrino Series DSP only.  In 

Uno

, fewer component properties 

can be named and changed but included is the ability to label all DSP module I/O 
Source & Destination wire points – as shown on Pg 15 - #17 – as well as the Uno 
DSP and the project information section (project name & project notes) when in 
Project View (red Uno processor in work area – not opened yet).

 

 

23.   Open Device: 

(Quick Access to a Programmed Processor Device)

 

If you are connecting to a processor device that already has an Uno DSP Design Project 
programmed and saved into it (that processor is likely installed and operating) and you need 
quick access to the physical processor devices DSP design schematic to check out its settings 
or to make new “live” DSP module parameter adjustments,
