SOFTWARE FEATURES
2 - MAIN MENU
2.1 - FILE
The file menu contains menu commands related to amplifier connections and file manage-
ment.
2.1.1 Connect
Select this menu item to connect to a new PMA amplifier while the software is running
but is not connected to an amplifier. A list of available amplifiers will appear.
2.1.2 Disconnect
Select this menu item to disconnect from a PMA amplifier, for example, when pro-
gramming a rack full of amps in order to move to the next unprogrammed amp.
2.1.3 Backup
Select Backup to store an archive of all current amp settings to a file on your local hard
disk that can later be recalled. This is useful when you use the same configuration on
many amplifiers - you don’t need to manually enter all programs and settings, you can
simply restore the amp “image” from the backup file. This is also useful as a way to
keep record of settings should an amplifier need to be replaced in the future.
2.1.4 Restore
Choose Restore to load all amplifier settings from a previously made Backup file locat-
ed on your hard disk. This command will display all control settings in PMA Manager,
load them into the DSP, and store them in amplifier memory.
2.1.5 Exit
Select Exit to disconnect from the PMA amplifier and close PMA Manager Sotware.
2.2 - SETTINGS
The Settings menu contains commands related to software features and layout of the GUI.
2.2.1 - Enable Advanced Controls
Select Enable Advanced Controls to gain access to advanced DSP controls such as
channel level adjustment and low frequency paramtric EQ filters.
2.2.2 - View Command Window
Selecting this option will expand the software GUI to display a scrolling list of recent
commands executed by the software. PRO technical support engineers use this fea-
ture to decipher the operation of the software should a problem be encountered. It is
not needed during normal use.
