Getting Started with MIX38
Running DigiTest (Mac OS 9)
DigiTest for Mac OS 9 is installed with Pro Tools
and resides in the Digidesign Utilities folder lo-
cated on your hard drive.
To run DigiTest:
1 Locate and double-click the DigiTest applica-
tion.
DigiTest opens and lists the supported cards it
finds in your system, showing their correspond-
ing slot locations.
If you have several TDM cards or audio inter-
faces, it may take a while for the main DigiTest
window to appear, as DigiTest scans for all cards
and interfaces connected to the system.
2 If a supported card is installed and is not au-
tomatically detected, do the following:
• Close DigiTest.
•Turn off the entire Pro Tools system.
• Reinstall the cards (see “Installing Pro
Tools PCI Cards” on page 29).
• Check the card seating.
• Check the TDM ribbon cable connections.
•Turn on the system.
• Run DigiTest again.
3 From the SlotArrangement menu, select your
computer. The number of computer card slots
updates in the main window to reflect your
computer model.
When you select a computer type, a second win-
dow opens and displays the lowest slot in your
computer.
4 If you are using an expansion chassis, select it
from the SlotArrangement menu.The number of
expansion chassis card slots updates in the main
window to reflect your chassis type.
5 In the DigiTest window, click Run.
If cards are not installed in the proper order,
DigiTest will stop, inform you that the system is
misconfigured, and display error codes in the
status box of each card identified as being mis-
configured.
The more cards and audio interfaces in your sys-
tem, the longer the test will take.
For descriptions of error codes, refer to
Appendix B, “DigiTest Error Codes.” For test de-
tails, click the Info button to the right of the re-
ported error, then click Failures in the pop-up
window and choose Detailed.
Before you run DigiTest, lower the volume
of your monitoring system and all output
devices, and be sure to remove your head-
phones. Very loud digital noise may be
emitted during the test.
