9.4 Device Control Tabs
The following device control tabs are available for each amplifier. The tabs include control surface, security, network properties,
DSP, input source, meters, meter dynamics, meters autoleveler, metering, event scheduler, and fault log.
9.4a Software Control Surface - Global
The control surface is the main user interface for the amplifier section. DSP functions, if available, are managed from the DSP tab. The
following amplifier functions are available in the control panel:
Name
- The user defined name for this specific amplifier. Up to 20 characters can be used.
Model
- The model of amplifier being addressed
Power
- Shows power status as on, off, or standby.
Power On/Standby
- This
shows power status and allows
the user to set power to standby from software. Standby can
also be controlled by a rear panel contact closure or by the
event scheduler
. The front panel power switch blinks when
in standby.
Power Switch & Level Control Enabled/Disabled
-
This disables both the front panel power switch and the rear
panel level controls.
Note: When disabled, all level controls
revert to their maximum (fully on) value regardless of knob
position
.
T
he software control surface representations of the rear panel level
controls (labeled as Rear Attenuators) will always show the current
physical position of the rear panel level controls, whether they are
enabled or disabled. See image on next page.
Remote Attenuator Enabled/Disabled
- This separate function disables all DC level control Euroblock connectors on the
amplifier back panel
Internal Amplifier Ambient
- On a live amplifer only, this indicates the current internal temperature.
DIP Switch Settings
- Each amplifier channel has a six position rear panel DIP
switch for setting hi-pass filter (HPF), limiter, gain, and output mode for that chan
-
nel. Current DIP switch positions and parameters are displayed on the software
control surface. Note: HPF status is unavailable to the software and is not shown.
