The currently active configuration will be
shown at the top of the Setup and Layout
screens, and the configuration currently
being viewed/edited on the screens will be
shown underneath.
Save to File, Load into Desk
Changes to the configuration being
viewed/edited will not take effect until
SAVE TO FILE LOAD INTO DESK is
selected. Then the changes will be
transmitted to the console and saved to
C:/sigma/cust1/meter.
If any changes are made to the
configuration, the
SAVE TO FILE LOAD
INTO DESK button will flash (until
selected) to indicate that the changes to
the configuration being viewed/edited
have not yet been saved and loaded onto
the console.
Open File
Open File will allow a previously saved
meter configuration to be chosen. When
a file is opened, the configuration will
be loaded into the front end screens as
“the meter configuration being viewed or
edited”, it is not sent straight to the control
surface.
The settings can then be edited if desired
and when they are ready to be used by
the control surface select
SAVE TO FILE
LOAD INTO DESK, and the revised file
will be saved and the settings sent to the
control surface.
Save to File
Save to File will save the configuration
being viewed/edited to c:/sigma/cust1/
meter without loading it onto the console.
SAVING ANd RESTORING CONfIGURATIONS
Open Active Config
Open Active Config retrieves the settings
that the control surface is using and
displays them on the front end screens
replacing the current configuration being
viewed/edited.
Save Options to Disk and Flash
As the meter setup screens are part of the
options set of screens, it is important to
save the options to disk and flash once the
meter arrangement is set up.
The Options screens are used to pre-
set the system to the studio’s required
settings. These settings are not stored
in the individual console memories but
are saved and loaded separately using
the buttons at the bottom of the screen.
Although the meter arrangement itself
is saved seperately, its active state on
the console has to be saved using these
buttons.
Changes to options take effect as soon
as they are made. However, if they are
not saved, the next time the desk boots
up the options will revert to their previous
settings, which could mean that a different
meter arrangement is loaded onto the
console. This could cause problems should
the console have to be reset during a live
broadcast. It does however allow changes
to be tried out without losing the original
settings and these original settings can
be restored without having to re-boot the
system.
