Controller and Controller Software
2.14 Working with
Several Programs
The DFC Software lets you open several programs
with different DFC settings in dedicated Program
windows. You have several options for viewing these
simultaneously on the user panel.
You can click the desired Program window to activate
it and send its settings to the connected DFCs.
This is a simple, swift, and convenient option
for switching back and forth among the different
configurations of even very complex sound
reinforcement systems.
Creating several programs
You can create new programs, copy and edit stored
programs, or simply open a stored program. To begin
creating a new program, select the option New in
the Program menu (see 2.5). Stored programs are
loaded using the option Load in the Program menu
as described in section 5.2.
The options Copy and Insert in the Program menu
load one program's setup to another. To do this,
select the option Copy in the program whose
settings you want to copy. Then go to the program
to which you want to copy the settings by clicking
its window, or create a new program via the option
New in the Program menu. In this program, select
the Insert option in the Program menu. It loads the
copied settings into the selected program.
Arranging Program windows
Once you have created, edited, or opened several
programs in different windows, you can arrange
these windows in a variety of ways on the user
panel. To do this, use the options Cascade, Tile,
and Arrange Icons in the Window menu
The option Cascade cascades (arranges front to
back in staggered formation) the program windows.
The option Tile arranges programs side by side or
stacks them one on top of the other in windows of
the same size. The option Arrange Icons arranges
all program windows in the desired order once they
have been minimized to the size of icons.
Activating programs
Activate an open program by clicking its Program
window. As soon as a program is activated, its
settings are transmitted to the connected DFCs.
The Window menu offers another option for
activating a program. In the bottom half of this
window, you will find listed the names of all open
programs. Activate the desired program by clicking
its listed program name.
2.15 Loading New Filters
into DFCs
At HK AUDIO ® , we constantly strive to develop
speaker filters for numerous application scenarios
and configurations of HK AUDIO
® speakers and
power amps. You can get these on CD-ROM or down-
load them from out website www.hkaudio.com.
The DFC Software lets you load these new filters to
the DFCs that you have at your disposal. Once loaded
to a DFC, filters can also be activated directly at the
DFC without using the DFC Software.
Vice versa, it is also possible to copy filters to a PC
from the DFCs. This is a handy option when you
want to load filters from one DFC to other DFCs.
Important note: In order to load filters to DFCs,
they must be accessible in the DFC Software's
Speakers folder. If, for example, you received them
on CD-ROM, you must first copy them to this file.
To load new filter sets to DFCs, select the option
Add Equipment in the Tools menu. This opens a
new window called Add Equipment.
Selecting filters for loading
See figure 18. In the Add Equipment window, you
must first select in the Speakers folder the filters
that you want to load to the DFC(s). The buttons
used to do this are called Append, Insert, Remove,
and Remove all. The Selection list shows the filter
sets selected for uploading to the DFC.
Important note: All filters designated in the Selection
list are loaded to the DFC even if these are already
stored in the DFC. The newly loaded filters of the
same name do not overwrite the filters stored in the
DFC; instead, these names are listed twice!
Click the Append button to open a window listing
all filters offered in the Speakers folder. Select one
or several filters and confirm via the Open button.
This appends the Selection list, adding the selected
filters at its end.
You can also use the Insert button to do this. It
inserts filters from the Speakers folder to a selected
position in the Selection list. This comes in handy
when you want to do things like insert a R-2x2 Stack
mid2 filter between R-2x2 Stack mid1 and R-2x2 Stack
mid3 filters listed in the Selection.
The Remove button deletes filters currently
designated for loading in the Selection list. Click
Remove all to delete all filters designated for
loading in the Selection list.
