Selecting and Placing Processing Devices
To select processing devices, follow the same procedure as selecting inputs and
outputs, except you will not see any dialog windows*. As you select a device, you
will be prompted to place it in either DSP #1, DSP #2, or DSP #3.
Figure 12.
*
The delay device will have a dialog window prompting you to select the maximum delay time for
that device.
At this point you will be placing the devices you need for your specific application
while trying to “fill up” the DSPs for maximum resource usage. You may want to
build your system from input to output, filling up DSP chip #1 first, and then chips
2 and 3 relative to your assigned outputs. Or you may want to build from the
input forward and output backward and meet in the middle. If your design
requires the maximum amount of DSP available, “trial and error” may be
necessary to make full use of all DSP resources.
Editing Device Parameters
To edit device parameters, place your mouse pointer over the device you wish to
edit and “right click” your mouse. You will then see a sub-menu on the screen
that looks like this:
Figure 13.
To edit the device parameters, click “Edit”. The edit windows for each device will
vary depending on that device’s function. Most edit functions will not effect
DSP resources with the exception of the Filter Tool and the Crossovers.
When editing the Filter and Crossover devices, you can choose how many filter
bands reside in each device. The number of filter bands in a device can
dramatically effect DSP resources. Therefore, you may want to try to select the
desired number of filter bands in these devices as you place them on the screen.
