3 GETTING STARTED

3.1 Opening HELIX DN9848E RCS within the ELGAR Library

Manager

Note

To run HELIX DN9848E RCS you must have the Midas Klark Teknik ELGAR Library Manager

installed on your laptop/PC. The ELGAR Software and User Guide may be obtained from our

website at www.midasconsoles.com.

Note

To use the HELIX DN9848E RCS to control a processing system, see section 11 for details on

Ethernet connection, setting up and configuration, and section 3.5 for online operation.

HELIX DN9848E RCS runs as an Add-In to the ELGAR Library Manager, which provides a single

management window for various Midas and Klark Teknik remote programming software applications.

By opening multiple Add-Ins 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 have a

series of Klark Teknik HELIX DN9848E System Controller Add-Ins to cover your system, plus a Midas

Heritage 1000 Add-In with settings for a H1000 console and a series of HELIX DN9340 Digital EQs.

Furthermore, as the concurrently opened Add-Ins are saved, reopened etc., as a single show file using

the ELGAR File menu commands, you will save time in file management.

 To add HELIX DN9848E RCS devices to the ELGAR Library Manager

1 Open ELGAR by double clicking on the ELGAR icon on your desktop.

2 From the ELGAR main menu bar, select Tools >

Add Device > DN9848 E.
