information on the software, version and copyright.
Status bar
The Status bar is located at the lower edge of
the screen. It principally indicates the progress
of activated functions. When the program is not
executing a function, the display reads Ready. If
you activate one of the menus in the Menu bar by
clicking it using the left mouse button and point
the cursor
to individual options, the Status bar shows a
description of the given option's function (Help).
Controller Number and Limiter displays
See figure 14. The Editing Panel shows a graphical
view of the individual controllers. In edit mode, the
Editing Panel always displays all 32 potential Controller
views. If you are not working in edit mode (and the
connection between the PC and the DFCs is up and
running), it shows only the controllers connected
to the PC.
DFC Controller Software Editing Panel
See Figure 14.
Temperature and Peak Limiter indicators appear
on the left side of the controller views. These are
subdivided into the DFC's three output frequency
bands (Bass, Mid, High). The upper area of each
limiter box indicates the high frequency band,
the center area the middle frequency band, and
the bottom area the low frequency band. When
deactivated, the Temperature Limiter indicator
appears in blue and the Peak Limiter display in
green for all frequency bands. When activated, the
given frequency band indicator's color changes to
red.
The respective controller number (1 to 32) appears
on the right side of the Controller views. The name
of the DFC assigned the given controller number
appears roughly at the center. The factory default
is Controller 1 to max. Controller 32. However, you
may enter other names as you see fit; for reasons of
clarity, you will find that this makes sense in practice
(see section 2.6. Changing the Controller Name).
Peak Limiter window
See figure 15. The Peak Limiter window always
shows the peak limiters for all 32 possible DFCs.
When selected (a checkmark appears next to the
option Limiter Window in the View menu), it
remains visible in the foreground of the screen.
This lets you continuously monitor the status of the
DFCs' peak limiters even when working with other
programs.
Like the Controller views, the Limiter view is
divided into boxes for the low frequency band,
middle frequency band, and high frequency band.
In normal operating mode, the color of the Peak
Limiter indicator is green. When DFC's peak limiter
activates, the indicator for the given frequency band
turns red.
The Peak Limiter window can only be activated
(View menu > Limiter window) when the DFC
Software is in online mode (a checkmark appears
next to the Online option in the Options menu).
