Loading the AP20 Proxy software and Dirac Live

software

onto the laptop

Note: Any virus protection applications and firewalls should be temporarily disabled before

installing the Dirac software.

The Dirac Live

software requires the following to be installed:

1. Matlab’s version 7.13 runtime library. To install this run MCRInstaller_2010a.exe which is

found on the root of the “AP20 Dirac Live Configuration Software” disc.

2. Dirac Live

also requires the Java runtime, version 6 update 20 or greater. If you need to

install Java you can install it by running jre-6u20-windows-i586-s.exe located in the root of

the `Dirac Live Installers disc.

3. The AP20 Dirac Live

Configuration Utility requires that a microphone preamp with an

ASIO driver be installed. ASIO drivers for the USBPre microphone preamp that ships in the

Dirac Live

installers kit are located on the `Dirac Live

Installers disc.

Once the items described above are in place, install the Dirac Live

software by running the

AP20_DLiveCfg.exe setup program, located on the root of the “AP20 Dirac Live Configuration

Software” disc. Follow the screen prompts.

For convenience, all of the above install programs can be run from a single batch file. Run

the _RUN_ME_TO_INSTALL_.bat file to begin installation.

Installing USB Preamp drivers

Windows 32 bit installation

Run the ASIO driver install program as found in the USBPRE ASIO DRVRS subdirectory of the “AP20

Dirac Live Configuration Software” disc. Run “setup” (located at \USBPRE ASIO DRVRS\DISK1)

without

the USBPre connected. After the setup program has completed, plug a USB cable into the

USBPre and follow the screen prompts.

When fully functional, a green USBPre logo will appear in the lower right corner of your monitor screen.

Be sure to turn on the 48 volt phantom power to the microphone before attempting to use the system.

Windows 64 bit installation

The USBPre requires a third party ASIO driver for use with Windows 64 bit operating systems. The

Ploytec USB ASIO driver ships on a separate disc available from Datasat Digital Entertainment or it can

be purchased over the web at http://usbaudio.com/

Install this driver by running setup and following the screen prompts.

Microphone Calibration File

The Installer’s kit includes a microphone calibration file matched to the kit’s microphone. This file can

be used to import the microphone’s amplitude frequency response into the measurement system.

Copy the file from the 9311H44400 disc to your computer in the following directory:
