The Active Preset is the currently used preset. In this drop down menu, all pre‐installed presets will be listed as well as any presets dragged or manually loaded into DaRouter. To load a preset into DaRouter, just select one from the list.

At the bottom of the drop down list is a Browse listing that can be used to manually browse a preset using a file explorer dialog.

Preset Documentation Button

The Preset Documentation button (shown as “?”) will load the HTML documentation associated with the selected preset. The preset documentation includes all the setup instructions for using the preset with the application it was designed for. To fully take advantage of the SCS.1 capabilities it is strongly recommended to click the Preset Documentation button and read its content every time that you load a new preset. (Figure 5.2)

5.2.2Section B

Device Configuration

This section indicates if a device is required for use with a preset, and if that device is connected. For “Single” presets, only one device is required. For “Dual” presets, two devices are required. When a device is not used in a preset, the image will be ghosted. When a device is used, the image will be gray, and when the device is detected (plugged in), it will glow blue to indicate connectivity.

Device Dropdown

The device dropdown menu will list any detected devices by their serial number. Selecting a device will assign it to the deck used in the preset. Once this assignment is made, DaRouter will remember the assignment for future use so you do not need to assign the device each time. (Figure 5.3)
