Creating a Project

At the top left under the ‘File’ tab, select ‘New Project’.

When creating a new project, Xilica Designer will ask you what DSP you are using. Neutrino/Uno series DSP is 
rather different from Solaro series DSP, therefore the two DSPs cannot be used in the same project file. 

For more information, please visit the Xilica Designer section in the Xilica website: 

www.xilica.com

Switch between Xilica Designer’s three windows: Project view, Network view and Dante view any time at the 
top right of the software.
