9 . 1 Extra Capabilities

While the UX8800 interface window in EAWPilot software provides the same capabilities for controlling the UX8800 as its front panel controls, it also provides additional capabilities not available using the front panel controls.

9.1.1LEVEL MONITORING - ANY MODE

The meters in EAWPilot provide more accurate and much higher resolution signal level monitoring. Both the average and peak levels are easier to read and provide mush better tracking for critical situations.

9.1.2PARAMETER LINKING - EITHER MODE

Using the Map tab in the UX8800 interface window, parameter values for the input channels and the output channels may be linked so that any changes will affect all such linked parameters.

9.1.3FIRMWARE UPDATE - EITHER MODE

Using the Settings tab in the UX8800 interface window, the firmware program for the UX8800 can be updated.

9.1.4RESPONSE GRAPHS - SYSTEM PROCESSOR MODE

The Input Channel and Output Channel tabs provide a frequency response graph showing filter responses and gain for the selected channel. As well, the Xover tab provides the responses of the crossover filters.

9.1.5RESPONSE GRAPHS - LOUDSPEAKER PROCESSOR MODE

The Input Channel tabs provide a frequency response graph showing user-adjustable filter responses and gain for the selected channel.

9.1.6OUTPUT PROCESSING - LOUDSPEAKER PROCESSOR MODE

When an input channel is set for generic processing in this mode, the processing parameters for any output channels to which it is assigned can be adjusted using EAWPilot.
