Device Panel

The Device Panel is a tool for interrogating individual devices that are in the Performance Workspace. The Device Panel works outside of the grouped controls and grouping rules to give you a clear source of truth for a single device's state. Each device will show it's individual settings and thus differences can be observed for different devices.

Selecting Devices

Unlike NetSetter, Device Panel does not look outside of the devices that have been placed in the Workspace. If a device is in the workspace, it will show in the left column. However devices that are discovered on the network but are not in the workspace will not show up in Device Panel.

Select the check box of any device in the left panel to view its current parameters.

Select the Filter Icon to refine long list of devices for quicker selection.

Device List Information

The Device List Table lists the following information for each device in the workspace. Click any column to sort by that data set.

Data	Description
HC ID	Shows devices in the workspace sorted by HControl ID.
Device Type	Shows the model of each device in the Workspace.
Status	Offline - The Device is not connected to the software. Online - The device is connected and in sync.

 

Device Details

When a device is selected, the device details are presented in the right pane sorted by tab. Some information in the details is editable however most parameters are read only.

Device Overview Page

Everything in the Device Overview Tab is read only. It will give you a high level view of the device's state.

Overview Section

Parameter	Description
HControl Name	This is the 6 digit numeric HControl ID and can be changed in the HControl ID View.
Device Type	This is the model of the device reported by the hardware. This can not be changed.
Container	This is the array name and array position that the device is assigned to. This is automatically assigned when a device is added to the Workspace and the name is derived from the array name and the position in the array. This field can be cleared using NetSetter or in the Discovered Device List in Connect Mode.
Preset Mode	This is the preset that the device is using. This is modified in the Preset View.
HPF	This shows the HPF preset setting. This is modified in the Preset View.
IP Address	This is the IP address reported from the device. IP addressing is modified in NetSetter.
Firmware Version	This is the reported Firmware Version from the hardware. Firmware is managed in NetSetter.
Serial Number	This is the reported serial number from the hardware.
Amplifier Power Status	Reports the state of the amplifier as either Normal or Sleeping. Normal - The amp is running and ready to work. Sleeping - The amp is in a low power state. See the Settings tab for more information.
Amplifier Health	Reports the state of the Amplifier Module. This will read as Good or Bad. Good - all is running as expected. Bad - the amplifier is reporting a fault. See the Amplifier Health View for more information.
Amplifier Temperature	The reported Temperature in percent to thermal error. See the Temperature View for more information.
Amplifier Voltage	The mains voltage as reported by the device. See the Voltage View for more information.

 

Input/Output Section

Parameter	Description
Gain	The current input gain of the device. See the Gain View for more information.
Delay	The current user input delay. See the Delay View for more information.
Input Meter	This is the highest resolution meter for each device. Clip indicator lights with the input signal is >21 dBu.
Output Meter	The highest resolution output headroom meter available shows the signal being sent to the amplifier.

 

The DSP Tab

The DSP tab presents the user DSP settings of the selected device. Many of the controls at the top are modifiable. Changes made in the Device Manager are NOT tracked by the group management and grouping is NOT respected. This can allow for changes that solve specific use cases that the general group functions can not solve.

Parameter	Description
Input Meter	Shows input signal with Clip, RMS, and Peak meters.
Polarity	This is a modifiable toggle that will invert the input polarity. See the Polarity View for more information.
Level	This is a modifiable field that is the actual gain on the device. It does not respect grouping when changed from the device panel. See the Gain View for more information.
Delay	This is a modifiable field that is the actual input delay set in the device. It does not respect grouping when changed in the device panel. See the Delay View for more details.
EQ DSP Enable	This toggle is modifiable and is only found in the Device Panel and on the device LCD. This toggles the EQ DSP enable. When disabled, the EQ section of the user DSP is completely bypassed.
ASC Enable	This toggles the enable for Array Size Compensation. This toggle does not respect grouping. For more information, see the Calibration View.
TDC Enable	This toggles the enable for Throw Distance Compensation. For more information, see the Calibration View.
Speaker Preset	This shows the selected output Preset Mode. From more information, see Speaker Preset View.
Output Meters	These show the output headroom of each bandpass.
Band Pass Mute	Toggles the state of the mute for each bandpass.
Graph area	EQ - This shows the composite EQ graph for the device. To edit the EQ and for more information, see the EQ View. Array Tools - Shows the state and effect of the ASC and TDC filters for the selected device.

 

The Load Tab

The load tab provides access to individual devices internal Signal Generator.

 

Settings Tab

The settings tab has access to parameters that can be modified when the device is connected. These parameters are read from the device when it is connected.

Display Settings

Parameter	Description
Auto-Dim	This feature dims the LCD to 0 after a specified time if no interaction on the device or event wakes the LCD. This can also be set from the LCD.
Auto-Dim Timeout	This is the duration of time the LCD remains on after an interaction or event wakes the LCD. This can also be set from the LCD.
Display Brightness	From 1-10, sets the brightness of the LCD back light. This can also be set from the LCD.
Lock Front Panel	This toggles a feature on the LCD that locks out all interactions from the LCD. This is to restrict changes on the device and is especially useful when the device is in a physical location where there is a risk of unauthorized changes being made. The lock will persist through a re-boot and can be disabled on the device by power cycling it while holding down the back button.

 

Sleep Mode Settings

Auto Sleep allows the amplifier state to go to the lowest power state possible. The amplifier will come out of auto sleep after the input level passes the set threshold and will remain on until the level drops below the specified threshold for the specified time.

Parameter	Description
Auto Sleep Mode	Enables or disables the feature. This can also be set from the LCD
Auto Sleep Threshold	When the input signal drops below the specified threshold, the sleep mode timer will start. This can also be set from the LCD.
Auto Sleep Time	Specify the duration the level must be below the specified threshold before auto sleep is triggered. This can also be set from the LCD.
Auto Sleep Status	Indicates the state of the amplifier. Normal or Sleeping.

 

Network Settings

All network settings are managed in NetSetter or on the device.

Parameter	Description
Mode	Indicates DHCP or Static addressing modes.
IP Address	Indicates the reported IP address from the device.
Subnet Mask	Indicates the reported Subnet Mask from the device.
Gateway	Indicates the reported Gateway address from the device.
MAC Address	Indicates the reported MAC Address from the device.
