Synchronization
(DME Designer and Unit Synchronization)
The DME or SP2060 unit and DME Designer are synchronized by Synchronization. The DME or
SP2060 operates according to the configuration and scene information transferred during this
process.
This Synchronization is used when transferring the configuration in DME Designer and when
controlling the DME or SP2060 unit in real time.
Online and Offline
When a DME or SP2060 unit is connected to the computer and synchronized with DME Designer, its
status is called “
Online .” When a DME or SP2060 unit is not physically connected to the computer or
is not synchronized even when it is connected, its status is called “ Offline .” You can check the online/
offline status and message transmission in [Communication Status] in the Main Panel window.
■ Online
Sends configurations created in DME Designer to the DME or SP2060 unit and reads data from the
DME or SP2060 unit, so that the DME unit configuration is reflected in the DME Designer
configuration. You can also control the DME or SP2060 in real time from DME Designer. Operations
performed in the DME Designer control editor are reflected in the DME or SP2060 unit, and
operations on the DME or SP2060 side are reflected in DME Designer.
You can not perform configuration editing using the Designer while online.
■ Offline
The communication status becomes offline when editing configurations.
■ Switching Between Online and Offline
You can switch between online and offline in the “Synchronization” dialog box.
NOTE
Because Synchronization presupposes that the DME or SP2060 unit can communicate with the computer where DME
Designer is installed, the necessary drivers (USB-MIDI or DME-N Network Driver) must be installed, and appropriate settings
must be made for the driver and for DME Designer MIDI IN/OUT (
page 119 ).
For information about driver installation and settings, see “DME Setup Manual”. For DME Designer communications settings,
see “Online” (
page 47 ).
NOTE
Because there are no scene settings when the DME unit is purchased, the configuration and scene information in DME
Designer must first be transferred.
NOTE
When combining DME64N/24N and DME Satellite units in a device group, be sure to assign a DME Satellite unit as the
device group master. Synchronization cannot be performed if a DME64N/24N is assigned as the device group master.
