Configuring C|24
All C|24 software is included when Pro Tools
software is installed. The Pro Tools installer
places the C|24 Personality file in the Control-
lers folder inside the Pro Tools folder.
Refer to the Getting Started Guide that came with
your system for instructions on installing or up-
dating Pro Tools software.
Updating System Firmware
Each release of Pro Tools software includes cur-
rent C|24 firmware. When you declare a C|24
unit in the Pro Tools Peripherals dialog,
Pro Tools prompts you if a firmware update is
available.
If you are prompted to update firmware, follow
the on-screen instructions to load the latest
firmware to the C|24.
