Setup Management and Firmware Upgrades
Saving and Loading Setup Files
To save all of the current settings to a setup file, select the Setup Menu option
[Quick Setup - Save Settings to Drive 1]. Use the on-screen keyboard (or attached USB key-
board) to enter a name for the setup file. This will save all of the current settings to an XML
file at root of Drive 1. To load a previously saved setup file, select the Setup Menu option
[Quick Setup - Load Settings from Drive 1]. The setup XML file will have to be copied to the root of
Drive 1 prior to attempting to load it.
For a complete list of available Setup Menu options, see Setup Menu Options .
Formatting a storage device will also remove any setup files that are on the drive. Setup files can be stored
on a computer and copied back to the root of a 970 drive to be loaded on the 970.
Custom Defaults and Setup Menu Option Visibility
The Setup Menu option [Quick Setup - Load Factory Settings] loads a setup that is saved internally
to the 970 when it leaves the factory. It is possible to alter this “factory” setup, so that the Setup
Menu option [Quick Setup - Load Factory Settings] will load a custom default.
It is also possible to hide specific Setup Menu parameters and options. This is useful for Setup Menu
options that are not commonly used in a particular workflow, or to simplify use when lending the
unit to another user.
To customize defaults and Setup Menu option visibility:
1. Attach a USB keyboard to the 970’s USB keyboard port.
2. Press the MENU Button to enter the Setup Menu.
3. Press Ctrl + Alt + F10 on the keyboard. If this is the first time this action has been performed
since powering the 970 up, a password dialog will appear. Enter the password (the default
password is “default”).
4. After the correct password has been entered, the Settings Customization Menu will appear.
Select Edit Menu & Default Values.
To create a sound report on a specific Reel folder:
1. Press FILES.
2. Select the Reel folder in which you want to create the sound report.
3. Either press and hold the Control knob to enter the Folder Options menu, or from an at-
tached keyboard, press the Right Arrow key.
4. Select Create Sound Report. The CSV file is created in the specified folder only on that drive.
To view a sound report (CSV file):
1. Eject the drive from the unit and attach it to a computer.
2. Navigate to the Current or Reel folder in which the report was created.
3. Open the report in any application supporting CSV format, such as Excel for spreadsheets.
