3.1. Getting Your Model Ready to Run
Now that your model is installed, you must get the model ready to run. This will require loading
the model and mapping your audio distribution device, the Iris, to the Iris assets in the model.
3.1.1. The Concept of Mapping
When a model is developed the final target hardware is not available, hence the model uses
“labels” to refer to the connections that will be required to link the software to the hardware. Map-
ping the model to the target hardware creates a virtual link between the Iris labels in the model to
the physical Iris hardware devices. Generally, the Iris labels will be meaningful, i.e. “Pilot-Iris”. It
is necessary to note the location of the Iris hardware so that the “Pilot-Iris” label is mapped to the
correct Iris hardware. Therefore, when the Iris hardware is first installed it is recommended to
make a list of Iris serial numbers and the intended use.
1. In the Model Installation screen, select the “
Model Management ” link to return to Model
Management.
2. You should see your newly installed model under your username. Select the “
make
default
” link under the Status column of your user account on the row of the model you
just uploaded.
3. Under the Load column select the new “ load model ” link to load the model. This may
take a few minutes depending on the model size. Be patient and wait for the model to load.
It will say “
Model is now Loaded ” when the loading is complete, shown below.
