monitor what you have already recorded in conjunction with what is
currently being recorded. The signals sent to these four channels are
set on the computer itself. These channels are the physical channels

four are not active.
NOTE: These two pairs (FIREstation outputs one-four) of channels
cannot be reassigned using the FIREstation itself. Any channel
redistribution must be configured using the host software or operating
system.

The FIREstation has two different clock modes, INT (internal) and EXT
(external). The internal option allows the FIREstation to stand alone or
be the master. When using the INT mode, other digital devices could
