3.1Opening HELIX RCS within the ELGAR Library Manager
Note
To run HELIX RCS you must have installed the Midas Klark Teknik ELGAR Library Manager on your laptop/PC. The ELGAR Software and User Guide may be obtained from our website at http://www.midasconsoles.com.
HELIX RCS runs as an ‘AddIn’ to the ELGAR Library Manager which provides a single management window for various Midas and Klark Teknik remote programming software.
By opening multiple AddIns within the ELGAR Library Manager, you can work on settings for the various Midas and Klark Teknik devices associated with a show at the same time. For example, you can
To add-in an HELIX RCS device to the ELGAR Library Manager:
1 Open ELGAR by double clicking on the ELGAR
desktop icon.
2 From the ELGAR Main Menu Bar, select Tools > Add Device > Helix EQ.
A DN9340 device screen, as shown below, is opened inside the ELGAR Library Manager. This device screen is the workspace where you remotely program scene settings for either a DN9340E or one half of a DN9344E, that is, a single HELIX equaliser. The screen provides a graphic display and a series of ‘tabs’ that emulate the display and menus of the DN9340E.
A DN9340 fast navigation screen, known as FastNav® (see Section 6.2), is also opened (behind) at the same time. This becomes useful when you are working with several DN9340 device screens, as it enables you to quickly switch to any channel on any of the device screens. It is also used for monitoring connection status of your networked devices during online ‘radio’ operation.
You can open up to 32 DN9340 device screens (generally referred to as HELIX AddIns) within a single show file.
