Using the UAD Meter
The UAD Meter & Control Panel can be launched or quit at any time. It does
not need to be open or active to use UAD Powered Plug-Ins. It is completely
independent and does not require a host application. You can move the UAD
Meter to a convenient location on your screen by dragging its window title
bar.
Always On Top The UAD Meter window can be set to normal or “Always on top” (floating)
view mode. In normal mode, the window can be covered by windows of the
foreground application. When in ‘Always on top’ mode, the Meter window
always “floats” on top of other windows, even when other applications are in
the foreground, so you can always see the meter and access the disable but-
tons (page 56). This setting is saved when the meter is quit.
To enable Always on top mode, click the control panel menu in the Meter win-
dow title bar (Figure 8 on page 58) and select “Always on top.” The mode is
active when a checkbox appears next to the item in the menu.
Note: If “No Cards Found” appears in the UAD Meter window instead of the
expected buttons and gauges, then the UAD drivers are not communicating
with the UAD hardware. If this occurs, double-check hardware and software
installations and/or contact customer support.
