Mackie MDR24/96 Operation Manual page 17

Before starting a Project, you will need to configure the MDR24/96 I/O card
options and synchronization parameters. These parameters determine where the
sample clock is coming from, how fast the sample clock runs, and how many bits
are recorded in every sample. Some options, like sample rate and bit depth, will
become "standards" that you won't need to change very often. Others, like Time
Code Source, you may need to change from project to project.
Only the DIO•8 and PDI•8 cards require special configuration. If you are using
AIO•8, OPT•8, or OPT•24 cards only, you can skip to the next section.
