When clicking the Configure scales button the Configure scales dialog comes up. It serves to configure the used
scales for the sources of the selected NGM-164 device.
On the Configure scales dialog first click the Load configuration button. This starts a communication with the
selected NGM-164. Messages about the communication state are displayed in the list at the bottom of the dialog.
After a successful connection, the configuration of the audio sources is loaded and displayed in the configuration
list on the left. This list shows from left to right the channels in pairs with the used audio scale and the values for
the 0 dB Reference (offset) and the A/D Reference (A/D ref).
To adapt changes to the audio channel pair they first have to be selected. This can be done in different ways:
either select them by clicking the checkboxes in front of them or select all channels by clicking the select all
button. With the Unselect all button, all selections can be unmarked. With the Scale drop down list a scale type
can be chosen and pressing the Apply button writes this scale type in the configuration list to the selected chan-
nel pairs.
Until now the configuration is only visible in the GUI, clicking the Set scales button writes it to the NGM-164, the
new configuration is applied. Clicking the OK button also writes the configuration of the list to the NGM-164. The
Get scales button updates the configuration list on the left with the current configuration of the audio channels.
Offset and A/D ref are only listed for reference and can not be changed in this dialog, instead the Setup source
dialog must be used, please refer to section
5.3.7 Setup source.

Configure scales dialog
Even though the selection of the audio scales is also offered in the edit object dialog, for
audio sources of NGM-164 this has to be accomplished in the configure scales dialog of the
Setup NGM-164 dialog.
Scale settings from the edit object dialog are not effective for audio sources of NGM-164!
Communication with the NGM-164 is done by means of the NGM-164 network protocol. The
reference to this protocol can be found in the NGM-164 user’s manual, which is stored on the
CD-ROM iStudio Documentation & Supplement R5976593.
