Equipment Table

Provides an editable table of Audia® devices in the system design. Add and Remove can be used to manually change the hardware design. However, Compile will add devices if needed (but will not automatically remove unnecessary devices). The Equipment Table may be used to aid system design, by initially specifying desired hardware configurations. Serial # and Device Description Label appear only when connected to a system, at which time the Equipment Table becomes 'read-only' information. CN Latency allows the selection of reduced delay times, which are supported on newer CobraNet® firmware versions. The default CobraNet Latency for new DAP files is 5.33mS (see Compile Options). Alternate choices of 2.67mS and 1.33mS are available (see System Network Considerations). CN Latency affects the creation of new DAP files, as well as the modification and recompilation of existing files/systems.

An I/O tab at the lower-left of the Equipment Table dialog box provides a list of input/output cards installed in the chassis listed above. For AudiaFLEX this will be a series of 2-channel input (IP-2, AEC-2HD, & TI-2) and 2-channel output (OP-2e & PA-2) cards (any combination up to a total of 12 cards or 24 channels). For standard Audia and AudiaSOLO this will be a single card expressing the complete I/O configuration (8x8, 12x4, or 4x12).

An RCB tab at the lower-left of the Equipment Table dialog box provides an editable table of devices connected to the Remote Control Bus of the Audia devices in the system design. This table is used to establish proper association between external physical controls and their corresponding component counterparts in the layout. Each DevID (control component) should be matched to an appropriate Serial # (physical control). The DevID number can be found in the right corner of control component objects in the layout, when 'Display Device Assignment in DSP Block Info Field' is selected from Display Options. Serial # and Device Description information can be found for the physical controls using Device Maintenance.
