Computer Requirements & Software Installation

Installing QSControl.net is easy. All you need to do is choose the folder where the program is to be stored (the default setting is accept- able for most applications). We recommend your system meet the following minimum requirements:

1- IBM PC compatible computer with a Pentium 4 processor.

2- Processor speed of 1 GHz (2 GHz or faster recommended for systems with 30 or more BASIS/RAVE/DSP units).

3- 512 megabytes of RAM (1 gigabyte recommended for systems with 30 or more BASIS/RAVE/DSP units).

4- Hard drive with at least 500 MB of free space for the program and files you generate.

5- Display resolution of 1024 X 768, 16-bit color.

6- CD-ROM drive to install the software.

7- 10BaseT/100BaseTx network interface card (the DSP322ua uses only 10Mbit (10BaseT) connection)

8- Windows XP Professional, XP Home, Windows 2000 SP2 (or better), or Windows NT4.0 SP6a operating system. Windows 95, 98 and ME platforms are not supported.

Note: If system is used for real-time adjustments and configuration of audio systems, we recommend all Windows Power Options (located in the Windows Control Panel) features be disabled. Display, hard drive, system standby and hibernation settings should be set to “Never”. This avoids waiting for the system to “wake-up” if adjustment is needed after an elapsed period of time.

To Install QSControl.net:

1- Start your computer and start Windows.

2- If there are any programs running, please close them now. Be sure to leave Windows running.

3- Place the QSControl.net CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive. If your system supports the Auto Run feature installation begins automati- cally, otherwise, you can click Start on the task bar, click Run, and browse for the file named setup.exe from the CD.

4- Click the Install QSControl.net button.

5- Follow the installation instructions on the screen.

To Uninstall QSControl.net:

1- Click the Start menu button and choose Settings/Control Panel.

2- Double-click the Add/Remove Program icon.

3- Select QSControl.net from the list, then click Add/Remove.

4- Click Yes to confirm you would like to uninstall QSControl.net.
