of how much the amplifier is ‘dimming’ itself in order to protect itself from potential
damage, and peak output current for each output. The data in the log can be exported by
right-clicking on the log to launch a context menu, and selecting “copy log data to
clipboard”. The data could then be pasted into a spreadsheet for further analysis. Your
dealer may ask you to do this is you have experienced a problem.
The Power button allows the amplifier to be put into power saving mode when it is not
being used. The associated Auto Power Save Time control allows the amplifier to
automatically go into power-save if no audio signal has been detected for a period of time.
This function can be defeated by setting the latter control to Manual. We would strongly
advise leaving it set to automatic however. There is no negative consequence to doing this
since ‘wake-up’ on detecting the presence of an audio input signal is instantaneous.
You can change the view to the MonIcon panel by clicking the “<<” button.
Hidden Controls
The loudspeaker vendor may have hidden some of the controls on the panel in order to
maintain proper protection of the connected loudspeakers. Such hidden controls will
appear grey and cannot be adjusted.
Saving & Recalling Data
Device Data may be saved to disk or opened from disk. PodWare Device SEttings files
(with file extension .dse) contain all the data necessary to restore a device to exactly the
same state as when the file was saved.
If the current settings have been changed since the last file save or file open, the Save
Icon on the panel toolbar will be shown in solid colour. If the settings are already safe, the
Save icon appears grey.
If a file is opened when on-line to devices, the new data will be sent to the device,
overwriting whatever was in the device. A warning will be given before this is done. Data
saved from one device can be reopened in another to save time inputting data. (Assuming
settings are to be duplicated)
PodWare will always try to protect your data, warning you if you are attempting an action
that could cause loss of data.
