BKcSuite Setup
BKcSuite Setup and Overview
During the BKcSuite software install, BKTask was automatically installed as a shortcut
icon on the desktop [BKTask icon (grey)]. Make sure all other applications which use the
serial port are closed before opening the taskbar. BKcSuite software has the capability to connect in real-
time (live) to any of our software controlled preamplifiers, receivers and switchers. However, to avoid possible
system compatibility errors it is recommended that all setup be performed virtually. Once a setup file has been
created, connect to the unit and open the saved files. Typical PC setup should follow the described procedure:
1.
DO NOT CONNECT UNIT TO COMPUTER. This is
considered virtual mode. Open BKcSuite A/V Setup from BKTask.
2
. When Tool Suite is first opened, the Device Investigator
automatically scans to find a connected B&K product.
Choose “select product for operation without a connected
device.”
3.
Choose the product you wish to work with.
4.
Create and save the system setup file using the
Advanced Setup menu of in BKcSuite.
5.
Connect the PC to the B&K product and establish a
live connection by running the device investigator.
6.
Once a live connection is established, open the previously created file. When the file is opened,
BKcSuite will send all settings to the B&K product.
Note: While a live HD6 connection is established with a PC, any changes made in BKcSuite will immediately
update the unit. As good practice, B&K recommends all important BKcSuite HD6 system settings be backed up
with an appropriate name on a computer. HD6 BKcSuite system settings are saved using a .bks file extension.
