Power Up Mode
SELECT INPUT Rotary Control selects Power Up option
Power Up Mode
Factory
It will often be desirable for the DCM1’s settings, such as
input selections, levels, etc., to be automatically restored to
a known state when it is re-powered after being off for a
period (intentionally or otherwise). The Power Up Mode
function determines the state the DCM1 “wakes up” in when
it is powered-up.
The rotary control selects the active Power Up option from
the three available: Factory, Default and Last
Known
.
With Factory set, the DCM1 will always return to its
original factory settings on power-up; a list of the factory
settings can be found at page 71 If Power Up Mode is set to
Default
, the settings which have been saved by the user in
the Default memory (see below) are restored.
The third option, Last Known, will restore the DCM1 to
the settings they were in when the unit was last powered off.
This is the option that Power Up Mode is set to has when
the unit is first shipped from the factory, but the unit’s actual
settings at this time will be the factory default set. Until some
changes are made, both Last Known and Factory
will result in the factory default settings being restored.
The numeric buttons are not used in this function.
UTILITY
The Power Up Mode function can be selected from
the SYSTEM tab of the Utility Tool. Select the required
setting from the drop down list at Power Up Mode.
Click Send System to transmit the new setting.
Save Defaults
SELECT INPUT Press to store current settings
Save Defaults
X
When the rotary control is pressed in, all the unit’s current
settings are stored in power-safe memory. The contents of
this memory are then re-loaded on power-up, if Default
or Last Known is set as the option in the Power Up
Mode function (see above).
The numeric buttons are not used in this function.
UTILITY
Clicking the Set Defaults button in the lower pane
of the Utility Tool window corresponds to the Save
Defaults function described above.
Update Firmware
SELECT INPUT Press 3 times to enable firmware update
Update Firmware
X
This menu function is used when a firmware update is
installed. See page 70 for full details of firmware Updates.
Pressing the control knob three times in quick succession
prepares the DCM1 for the firmware update. The X in the
display changes to a
✓. At this point a further press cancels
the procedure. Otherwise, the DCM1 will expect to install
the new firmware next time it is reset (see Reset Mixer
below), or re-powered.
Neither rotation of the control knob nor the numeric buttons
are used in this function.
The Update Firmware menu function also lets you check
the versions of firmware and software versions currently
installed in the DCM1. If no controls are touched, the Help
text will appear after approximately 10 seconds, after which
the firmware and software versions will be displayed for a few
seconds.
