Using the Default Configuration

The first time FlashMic Manager is run, a file Defaults.cfg will be created. It will be found in the same folder containing the FlashMic Manager executable file (FlashMicManager.exe). This file differs from other *.cfg files in that its purpose is to provide a convenient set of default parameter values to aid the user in setting up his/her own personalised default configuration file.

The parameter values provided by this default are:

PARAMETER

VALUES

 

 

Record Mode

Linear, 48kHz sample rate

 

 

Pre-record Buffer

Off

 

 

Record Level

AGC on

 

 

High-pass Filter

On

 

 

Backlight

Energy saving mode

 

 

Filename

TRACK

 

 

Battery Display Characteristic

Alkaline

 

 

These are the settings that will be found in the FlashMic when used for the first time “out of the box”.

To see these parameters displayed in FlashMic Manager, click File>New (or hit CTRL+N). This will remove the greyed-out fields ready for data entry. Then click Presets>Set Default Values (or hit CTL + D). This loads the parameter values listed above into the data fields for the currently selected Preset number, as shown in the Select Preset box (in this instance, 1). The FlashMic Manager window should now look like this:

Note that it is possible to modify Defaults.cfg to suit the requirements of your own organisation (for example to include your company name). See Creating a Personalised Defaults File, page 35.
