Reinitialize Digital I/O

Should the script stop running for any reason, select Tools > Configure Digital I/O, then select Reinitialize Digital I/O. This option is only available in Live mode.

To remove a digital I/O script from the DMP 64:

Only one digital I/O configuration can be active at a time. If the I/O activity needs to be modified, remove the current configuration by:

1.From the Tools menu, click Configure Digital I/O, then select Remove Digital I/O Configuration from the Device and click OK.

2.If the DSP Configurator is connected to a device, the I/O configuration is removed. If it is not connected, a connection dialog box appears.

3.Make certain the connection information is correct, then press OK. The I/O configuration script is removed and a confirmation dialog box will appear.

Emulate Mode and Live Mode

The DSP Configurator program has two operational modes, Live and Emulate. In Live mode, the program has established a connection and is synced with the DMP 64. Changes affect the device in real-time and changes in the current state of the device are reflected in the DSP Configurator. In contrast, Emulate mode allows the user to work offline, creating or editing configurations that do not immediately affect DMP 64 operation.

The DSP Configurator program always starts in Emulate mode. All functions of the DSP Configurator program are available without connecting to the DMP 64. The user can build a configuration from the blank screen, or open an existing file that contains the last configuration displayed plus saved presets. All settings and adjustments are saved to a configuration file on the PC. When the saved file is opened in the DSP Configurator program, the program restores all settings as the current configuration (emulated if in Emulate mode or live if in Live mode).

Live mode can be entered at any time after program launch, either with a blank configuration, after creating a configuration, or after loading a previously saved configuration file.

In Emulate mode, the current state is titled Current Emulation. In Live mode, the current state is titled, Current State.

Synchronizing: Pull From or Push To the DMP 64

When switching to Live mode after making changes to the current configuration in

Emulate mode, either:

Pull data from the device and update the DSP Configurator program configuration. This option downloads device settings from the DMP 64 and synchronizes it with the DSP Configurator program overwriting the current DSP Configurator settings, or

Push data from the DSP Configurator program to the device, overwriting settings in the DMP 64.

Live mode can also be used to tailor audio settings in real time while listening to the audio output.
