The dSP menu within the Maintenance pages holds one item, Status dSP, which provide feedback of the
usage and operating status of the console's digital signal processing:

Each of the 16 DSP chips is shown by an animated fish, swimming back and forth to indicate that all is well – if a software
hang or crash occurs the fish graphic turns to a skeleton on the aquarium floor(!), but immediately the Self-Healing system
will mute the chip (to avoid digital noise being transmitted) then restart and test the chip for correct operation before
placing the processing back into the audio path – all in less than 0.2 seconds!
You therefore need very good eyesight to see the Self-Healing process in operation, and quick ears too. Each chip runs a
different algorithm to ensure that the resources are generated in the most efficient way, plus this also allows the no-glitch
reordering of processing in the channel/ASG/PGM paths.
If the chip has been experiencing problems (most likely to be software conflicts) that caused it to reboot, the number of
times it has been reset by the Self-Healing system (since the console was last powered) is listed as the reboots text item
under each fish display – the other text items are diagnostic readouts intended for service use, so we won't bother looking
at them in any detail.
It is possible to manually reboot any of the DSP chips by touching the fish and choosing yes from the subsequent
confirmation pop-up, but this is intended as a diagnostic feature and should NOT be performed while on-air!
