10 Section 3: I-Tech Settings
Application Guide
3.3 Communicating with I-Tech
One of the most convenient features within I-Tech amplifi ers is the ability to load ampli-
fi er settings, including DSP settings, into your amplifi er, and to save settings as presets
via IQwic IQ Network software. This section provides a quick overview of the IQwic
software and the procedures for loading and saving settings with IQwic. Note: the
front panel work surface only allows you to recall a stored preset. You must use IQwic
software to create, modify, and store presets.
3.3.1 IQwic Software
IQwic is the name of the software program that runs on the computer that facilitates
the setup, control and monitoring of components in an IQ Network, including I-Tech
amplifi ers. When IQwic is run on the computer, a “Main Window,” a “Workplace
Window,” and “Component Control Panels” may be open on your screen. These are
shown below in Figure 3.3.

Software
Main Window : The Main Window consists of the Main Menu, toolbar and status bar,
and is the central point of control over IQ Network functions. The Main Menu con-
tains menu selections that let you start any activity in IQwic. The Main Menu appears
in the Main Window. It consists of six Main Menu options, including File, Edit, View,
Dataframe, Setup and Help.
Dataframes: A Dataframe is a snapshot of the system at any given point. Dataframes
contain information about system elements (what components are in the system) and
screen elements (window sizes and positions). Dataframes can be saved to disk at
anytime. A Dataframe includes:
• A reference to and description of every IQ component in an IQ Network.
• The control settings of every one of these IQ components.
• The Workplace Window and its contents, Component Images and labels.
• Any scenes created within the Dataframe.
• The size and positions of any auxiliary windows including Control Panels.
When you create a new Dataframe, you create in computer memory a model for the
control of an actual IQ Network. Saving the Dataframe records this model as a fi le that
you can recall later within IQwic.
3.3.2 Network Wizard
The Network Wizard provides a quick way to establish communications with your TCP/
IQ networked components. Using the Network Wizard, you can address your compo-
nents and be informed of addressing and other errors in the system. Start the Network
Wizard by selecting Setup > Network Wizard from the IQwic Main Window.
