9.5 Module Dependent Preferences Menus

NOTE: This section describes additional menus which are available in ADA-8s fitted with

FireWire I/O Modules. However, in normal use it is not necessary to access these menus

since loading the relevant Stores, as described in the following sections, automatically selects

the correct states of these menus.

If one or more FireWire I/O Modules are fitted to an ADA-8, the 'Workstation Remote Control',

'FireWire I/O Configuration' and 'FireWire GUID' menus become available in the 'Module

Dependent Preferences' section of the Menu System.

Wrkst Remote: On

On Off

This single selection menu allows the Workstation Remote Control Interface to be enabled or

disabled. When enabled the synchronization source and sample rate of the ADA-8 can be

remotely controlled from the workstation. When disabled any adjustments made from the

workstation are ignored by the ADA-8. It is not recommended, and should not be necessary,

to disable the Workstation Remote Control Interface when using the FireWire I/O Module.

D1 FW I/O: 8I/8O

8I/8O 2I/8O 8I/→

Each FireWire I/O Module fitted to the ADA-8 enables an I/O Configuration Menu in the

Module Dependent Preferences section of the Menu System. This setting changes the

number of input and output channels that the FireWire I/O Module handles. The options

available are 8 in / 8 out, 2 in / 8 out, 8 in / 2 out, and 4 in / 4 out (only available on XR

model).

The maximum sampling rate supported by the FireWire I/O Module is 96kHz, unless the 4 in /

4 out configuration is selected, in which case it is 192kHz (only applies to XR model).

Note that changes to this setting take effect the next time you switch on your ADA-8. It is also

necessary to disconnect and then re-connect your ADA-8(s) and workstation, so that the

workstation Operating System notices that a different device type is present. However, this

setting should rarely need to be changed.

D1 FireWire GUID

0011980000000001

Each FireWire I/O Module fitted to the ADA-8 enables a GUID menu in the Module

Dependent Preferences section of the Menu System. This menu displays the GUID, or

Globally Unique Identifier, of each FireWire I/O Module fitted to the ADA-8. This is useful for

identifying individual FireWire I/O Modules in a multiple node system.
