Rane RPE 228 Users Guide - Manual (Page 7)

This Site Control Panel is all an operator
needs to see to recall memories. If only a few
presets are required, blanking an entry in the Site
Control Panel Setup removes the button from
this screen, simplifying operation. A password is
not required to operate the RPE from this screen.
If more than 16 memories are needed, they
can be saved to disk and recalled later. For
mobile sound trucks, presets for a particular
venue can be saved to disk and loaded when
returning to that venue. Printouts of device data,
graphs, and curves are available for those who
still like to file paper. These can be kept in the
project file.
Hints for Windows 95 Users
If you find yourself squeezed for room at
the bottom of the screen, you can modify the
Task Bar so it only appears when you move the
mouse pointer below the bottom of the screen.
To do this,
Right-Click on a blank spot on the task bar.
Select
Properties
Enable
Auto Hide
Press
OK.
While operating the Device Control Panel
in Windows 95, there is no button-box for the
system menu on the title bar. There is, however, a
Close-Window button-box.
As expected, the Close-Window button-box
does exit the Device Control Panel, but unfortu-
nately, it also quits RW-232.
To get back to edit mode, Right-Click the
mouse on the Device Control Panel title bar. This
will open the menu allowing you to return to
Device Edit mode or exit the program altogether.
As usual, a password is required for either
option.
Support
Accurate, simple, complete specifications
and an operator’s manual are supplied to inform
the designer and technician about the RPE 228.
These are downloadable from Rane's web site as
well. The operator’s manual features a “Quick
Start” section that gets the installer up and
running in seconds. But even easier to use than
the manual is the complete Windows Help file.
Here, many operational questions are answered.
Third-Party Support. AMX has complete
information on the Rane RPE 228 so that they
can easily incorporate the unit into any special
applications with their equipment.
In conclusion, the real key to your success
with the RPE 228 and RaneWare 232 is a little
practice (remember, the software can be used
without an actual unit attached to the PC). You
have to reach a comfort level and some enthusi-
asm for the power and simplicity of this great
approach to providing solutions. Reaching that
comfort level is easy and it will make you an
expert in front of your client.
Rane has accurately assessed the needs of
the installer and client, we are proud to provide a
superior solution that is unmatched in ease of use
and security.
