UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 31 - Chapter 2: UAD Installation
Using Unlicensed Plug-Ins
To run unlicensed UAD plug-ins after authorization, see “Demo Mode” on
page 45. To redeem vouchers or coupons, or purchase additional UAD plug-
in licenses, see “UA Online Store” on page 46.
Verifying Installation
The UAD Meter & Control Panel displays the current resource loads of the
UAD DSP hardware card in realtime. It also contains the System Information
panel, where UAD software and hardware installation can be verified to en-
sure the system is working properly.
To confirm proper UAD installation and operation:
1. Launch the UAD Meter & Control Panel application (see page 55).
2. Open the System Information panel (see page 57).
3. When the UAD card is displayed in the Hardware area and its status is
“OK” then the UAD driver is communicating with the UAD card and the sys-
tem is operating properly. Done!
UAD-2 LED The UAD-2 has an LED on its mounting bracket. The UAD-2 LED provides cer-
tain indications about the operational state of the UAD-2.
Flashing red and green
The card is powered up properly but the UAD driver is not yet loaded or com-
municating with the card. This is the expected state if the card is installed but
the software is not yet installed, or when booting the system and the UAD
driver is not yet loaded.
Solid green
The UAD driver is loaded and properly communicating with the card. This is
the normal state when using UAD Powered Plug-Ins.
Solid red
There is a problem with communication between the driver and the card. Try
a cold reboot (complete power down) and/or reinstalling the UAD software.
