Device Status section

The Device Status section shows information about the sample rate, synchronisation and driver status of the
Saffire PRO 14. The desired sample rate can be set as well as external synchronisation options for using the
Saffire PRO 14 with external digital devices.
Sample rate display
This displays the current sample rate at which the Saffire PRO 14 is running. To change the sample rate, click
on the red sample rate value and select 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, or 96kHz,
Note: you must quit your DAW application BEFORE you make sample rate changes to prevent any undesirable side-effects in your
DAW!

and select S/PIDF or Internal.
Sync Status display
Displays "Locked" when the Saffire PRO 14 has successfully locked to the specified Sync Source.
If "No Lock" is seen, then the unit has been unable to lock to either an external S/PDIF signal. If this is the case, then please check
that digital cables are secure in their input sockets, and that the external digital devices have been set up as sync master devices.

these applications and wait for the FireWire driver to display "Connected" before accessing these settings.
