Page 25: 2.Initialization Framework
In order to initialize the DSP on board and external Powersoft DSP, the ProManager Plus™ proposes two approaches: Powersoft init or Custom init. The former initializes your DSP with default settings, while the latter initializes the DSP with your custom processing and it will allow ArmoníaPlus™ to identify your system as proprietary. As shown on the workflow, before directly proceeding with a custom initialization of the DSP, you are required to create a valid custom model for your product in which the presets –... -
