Emulate Mode
While in Emulate mode, DSP Configurator is functioning in an "offline" state. Changes made
to the configuration file are not applied to a DMP 128 Plus.
In Emulate mode, the user can create and configure the software as though a device was
connected, except for any actions that require direct connection to the device or information
that is stored only on the device. Once configuration is complete, the user can switch to
Live mode and apply the configuration to the device or save the configuration file to be
loaded onto one or multiple devices at a later time.
Creating configuration files in Emulate mode saves time by not requiring a device to be
connected or present in order for the bulk of DSP configuration to be completed.
NOTE: Not all menu options or actions are available in Emulate mode.
Live Mode
Enter Live mode to connect to a DMP 128 Plus and push or pull configurations between the
device and host PC. In Live mode, changes made in DSP Configurator are directly applied
to the DMP 128 Plus. Additionally, presets and macros can be created and stored on the
device.
When entering Live mode, the user is prompted with the
