DCM1 & DCM1e Installation and User Guide V1.0 59
Using the Utility Tool
The Utility Tool window is arranged in four tabs – INPUTS,
OUTPUTS, INSTALLER KEY and SYSTEM. Additional
functions are available from the Menu bar options and from
the five buttons in the lower pane, which remain visible
whichever tab is active.
The various controls on the four tabs replicate most of the
DCM1’s internal menu functions; this manual section cross-
references each control to a menu function, please see the
manual section on Configuration for full details of each
function. Tool tip text is provided when the cursor is hovered
over each control.
When a control or setting has been altered, the change must
be transmitted to the DCM1 by selecting a Send button. The
INPUTS and OUTPUTS tabs have two Send buttons; Send
Input
(or Send Output), which transmits the settings
for the currently selected input (or output), and Send All
Inputs
(or Send All Outputs), which transmits the
settings for all inputs (or outputs).
