The Deva is a very sophisticated recording device. The heart of the system is the software used to operate the
device. This chapter describes every Deva page and the parameters within each.

Page Notes

Referring to Figure 3-1 (above):
The first line indicates information about the firmware version currently installed: the version #, and the date
and time the version was created.
The third line only appears if an internal backup CF card is installed. On the right side, the size of the currently
installed card is displayed (in parentheses). It does NOT indicate the remaining free space on the card.
In the fifth line:
o AudPLD= refers to the hardware revision for the Audio Board. In this example, it is the 2
o MainPLD= refers to the hardware revision for the Main Processor Board. In this example, it is the 4
revision.
The fourth line from the bottom displays the Primary Drive's capacity.
The second line from the bottom displays the Primary Drive folder currently selected to hold your audio files.
Consider verifying it is correct, as needed.
NOTE: The battery voltage is checked during boot up. If it is less than 9 V, the Deva will ask if you want to
continue. This prevents the Deva from corrupting the current recording folder, should it reboot continuously
with a dying battery.

information.
– causes the Deva (v6.06C or later) to reconstruct corrupted folders. This should allow folders to
be mirrored in the normal way.
– forces 48 kHz mode (in v3.56 and later) (also forces Deva to read corrupted folders).
– enables 192 kHz recording speed. This is somewhat obsolete. The current approach is to run the
DSP in fast mode and enable the 192 kHz selection.
