Firmware Upgrade

This allows you to select an OS upgrade file to upload to the DX810 as they become available. Click Select File in the Firmware Upgrade window and the Select OS Upgrade File dialog box opens. Browse to the location of the OS upgrade file (with a .pkt extension) on your hard drive or floppy drive and click Open, then click Upgrade. You can monitor the progress in the Firmware Upgrade window.

Set Lock Code

Select this to view and change the four-digit Administrator Pass Code or User Pass Code for the DX810. The code must consist of four digits. Use the Panel Lock button in the Top Section to lock and unlock the front panel controls (User level), or use the MODE button on the front panel to lock the controls. Refer to page 13 for more information on using the Lock mode and password protection.

Configure COM Ports

The DX–810–PC application uses COM1 on the PC by default. If necessary, you can change the COM port used by the application. Click the PC Com Port pull-down box in the COM Port Setup window and select the desired COM port.

Note: The DX–810–PC application defaults to COM1 whenever it is restarted. This is regardless of whether another COM port was selected in a previous session. To permanently change the default COM port setting, you must open the file named DX8.ini (located in the System folder where the DX–810–PC application is located) with NotePad. Change the line “dspport:0” to “dspport:1” to change to COM2, “dspport:2” to change to COM3, and so on.

The DX–810–PC application uses 115.2k baud transmission speed for both COMM PORTS. Some third-party control systems require a lower baud rate. If using one of these systems, the DX810 rear COMM PORT baud rate can be changed in the COM Port Setup window. The front panel COMM PORT always operates at 115.2k baud.

Note that when the rear COMM PORT baud rate is changed from 115.2k baud, the PC application can no longer communicate with the DX810 via this port. You must use the front COMM PORT with the PC application in this case.

Set Temperature

Select this to open the Delay/Distance Parameters window. The temperature value entered here is used to calculate the delay time in the Delay Line output processor (the Delay button). The speed of sound varies with air temperature, so it is necessary to enter the ambient air temperature here to calculate the time delay required as a function of distance traveled.

Click and drag up or down in the Set Temperature box to change the temperature setting from –40.0°F to 122° F (–40°C to 50° C). Change from Fahrenheit (US Units) to Celsius (Metric) in the Set Units box. This also changes the distances in the Delay Line window to Metric.

Set Ramp Time

Select this to open the Preset Ramp Time window. This controls the transition time for the input, output, and group faders when changing from one preset to another. The range is Off to 30 seconds.
