Configure Digital I/O Ports — Live mode only. Opens a utility to configure digital I/O ports. The DMP 64 provides six digital I/O ports that can be used to trigger external events from DMP 64 actions, or for external events to trigger DMP actions (see Digital I/O Ports on page 75).

Connect to/Disconnect from Device (depending on Emulate or Live mode) — Performs the same functions as the Mode Emulate and Mode Live buttons.

Issue RESET Command — Initializes and clears the following: mix-points, presets, processor blocks, and gain blocks. This reset is identical to the E ZXXX} SIS command (see SIS Programming and Control on page 92).

Save changes to device Live mode only. Saves configuration changes made in the DSP Configurator program to the DMP 64.

Firmware Loader — Calls the Firmware Loader program, which allows updates without taking the DMP 64 out of service (see Firmware Loader on page 136).

Configure Groups — Opens the configure groups dialog box (see Group Masters on page 69).

Device Settings — Live mode only. Opens a dialog box providing a means to change the IP address, set administrator and user passwords, and select the serial port baud rate.

Options — Opens a tabbed dialog box to customize the DSP Configurator appearance and operation.

Colors — Tailor the appearance of the various graphs and dialog boxes. Appearance uses a selected color scheme for the complimentary and graph colors.

Complimentary Colors allows custom selection of colors used with the various graphs and dialog boxes. Graph colors change the row colors containing the information and descriptions of the graphs seen in the processor blocks.
