6.11 Copying adjustments
In contrast to channel linking which only
synchronizes the parameters changed while
the channels are linked, the copy function
copies all adjustments of a channel to another
channel . The copy function does not apply to
the following adjustments: "Mute In", "Mute
Out" and the channel assignments "Output
Routing" and "Output mix level" or "Bal-
anced" (input signal) .

names may be changed for each configu-
ration, e . g . to indicate the type of the sig-
nal source or the location or function of the
speaker system .

6.13 Managing configurations
The configurations created by means of the
control program may be permanently saved
as "programs" on six storage locations of
the DRM-882LAN . These configurations can
be retrieved by means of the six buttons
PRESET (3) at the unit . Four additional config-
urations may be saved as "extra programs"
on the unit . These configurations can be
retrieved via switching signals at the inputs
INPUT PORT (13) ( ☞ chapter 6 .15) .
All configurations may be additionally saved
on the computer .
6.13.1 Saving configurations on the
computer
To save the current configuration on the com-
puter:
1) On the upper right of the configuration
window, click the button "Save" . The di-
alog window "Save As" is displayed .
2) Enter the file name desired, select the lo-
cation where the file is to be saved and
then save the file .
By default, the subfolder "Preset" is se-
lected which was automatically created
during program installation . The file ex-
tension * .M88 is automatically appended
to the file name entered .
6.13.2 Loading configurations from
the computer
CAUTION
Prior to loading a configura-
tion, check if it corresponds to
the units connected .
As the DRM-882LAN provides flexible con-
figuration op tions, the inputs and outputs
may assume most diverse functions . An in-
advertent change between configurations
may result in an overload of the components
connected .
To load a configuration that has been saved
on the computer:
1) On the upper right of the window, click
the button "Load" . The dialog window
"Open" is displayed .
2) Select the file desired and confirm your
selection .

6.13.3 Saving configurations on the unit

To save the current configuration on the
DRM-882LAN:
1) On the upper right of the window, click
the button "Store" . The dialog window
"Store Program" is displayed (fig . 34) .
Fig. 34 Window "Store Program"
2) To select the storage location, use the field
"Select Position" or click an entry in the list
under "Memory Program" . Select a free
storage location ("Program Empty") or
select a storage location already assigned
that you want to overwrite .
3) In the field "Edit Name", enter the name
for the configuration . The length of the
name may not exceed 16 characters . Spe-
cial (language-specific) characters (e . g . ä,
ö, ü, ß, è, ô, ì, á, ñ, µ) should not be used,
as they will not appear correctly on the
display of the DRM-882LAN .
4) Click the button "Store" to save the con-
figuration or click "Cancel" to cancel the
procedure .
5) In the dialog window "Store Program –
Are you sure?", confirm or cancel the
procedure .
After the saving procedure has been com-
pleted, the window "Store Program" dis-
appears .
The configurations that have been saved in
the unit by means of this procedure can be
directly retrieved via the buttons PRESET 1– 6
(3) after the connection to the computer has
been disconnected .
