Modifying and adding a building block
Building blocks can be modified and saved to give you a customized set of tools that are
unique to your needs. Any mix-points that are associated with a signal path are not saved
and recalled with the associated signal chain building block.
You can create a building block from an existing configuration to be used in the future
(such as for another input or in another configuration file).
To create a building block:
1. Configure the processor blocks as needed for the signal chain (see the topics in the
Workspaces section).
2. Click the channel number. The Building Blocks dialog box opens.
3. Click the icon. The Add a Building Block dialog box opens.
4. In the Name field, enter a name that identifies the building block.
5. From the Create In drop-down list, select the folder in which to place the building
block. The default selection is Building Blocks, which places the new building
block on the root level of the building blocks list, not in a folder. Click New Folder
to create a new folder for the building block.
6. Click Add. The Add a Building Block dialog box and Building Blocks dialog box close,
returning you to the workspace.
You can modify a pre-configured building block and save these changes, creating another
building block.
To modify a pre-configured building block:
1. Insert a building block for an input or output (see the " Inserting a Building Block "
section above).
2. Follow steps 1 through 6 above.
Deleting a building block
You can delete a building block from the list in the Building Blocks dialog box. If you
delete a default building block, you can restore it if needed. See the "Restoring Default
Building Blocks" subsection of "Organize Building Blocks" in the DSP Configurator Help
file for details and method.
To delete a building block:
1. Click the channel number located beside the channel name. The Building Blocks
dialog box opens.
2. To delete a folder and the associated building blocks, select the folder from the list
and click the icon.
