UAD‑2 Live Rack Manual
Chapter 5: UAD Meter & Control Panel
126
Hardware Section
Detailed information about each UAD‑2 Live Rack unit and its DSP is displayed in the
Hardware area. If several units are installed, use the scroll bar to see the other devices if
they are out of view.
Device Status
For each installed unit, its status and a small hardware icon are displayed. When the unit
displays “Status: OK” the hardware is operating properly. The total number of UAD plug‑
ins loaded on each unit is also displayed here.
Device Enabled
Individual UAD‑2 Live Rack units can be disabled using the Device Enabled
button. Click the button to disable an individual device. The device is enabled
when the button is blue.
This button can be useful if creating a Snapshot on a system with multiple devices that
will be transferred to a system with fewer devices, or to streamline the performance of
the host computer when multiple devices are not needed.
Devices remain disabled only while the UAD Meter & Control Panel application is open.
When the UAD Meter & Control Panel is quit, any disabled devices are re‑enabled.
Note: Disabling devices does not disable plug-ins already running on the device; it
only prevents additional plug-ins from being loaded onto the device.
Important:
For optimum results, quit the Live Rack application before disabling/
enabling devices.
DSP Load
Information for each SHARC DSP processor is displayed. DSP, Program (PGM), and
Memory (MEM) loads are displayed as a percentage of total available load for that
processor.
The number of UAD plug‑ins (PLG) running on each individual processor is also
displayed.
Save Detailed System Profile
Clicking this button will generate a detailed UAD system profile and prompt you for a
location to save the text file to disk. This file contains a greater level of detail than the
System Information panel, which may be useful for troubleshooting, or if Customer
Support requests this document when providing assistance.
The profile lists the version strings of the individual UAD software components, installed
devices with serial and hardware ID numbers, host computer information, detailed
authorization status for all UAD plug‑ins, and other information.
