SAM1-3GM and SAM1 MADI Combined User Handbook Version One Issue 1
2.8.2 Loading User Presets
Pressing Load enters the User Presets directory where the user can select to recall any other 18
user presets to be the active snapshot. In the example below the User Preset ‘Soccer Saturday’ is
recalled from location ‘01’.
The entire collection of 18 user preset can be backed up to or recalled from an external storage
device such as a USB stick (thumb drive) or SD card providing that card has been prepared with a
top level folder named ‘SAM1-3GM’ or ‘SAM1-MDI’.
When a storage device is inserted into the SAM1, it will be recognised and the USB Load and
USB Save buttons will appear on Setup menu as shown previously. Select either button to store or
recall the system snapshot cache. SAM1 asks the operator to confirm if a USB Save command is
required to overwrite an existing stored memory cache.
2.9 Setup Menu 1 – SAM1 3GM and SAM1 MADI
Setup Menu includes options for different Scales, Reference Levels, Peak Hold, Input Naming
and access to the Setup 2 Menu. By clicking to select the appropriate button, individual sub
menus are selected and options chosen via rotation of the encoder.
2.9.1 Meter Menu – Selecting Scale Type
Pressing the Meter button and turning the encoder accesses the bargraph scale options. SAM1 is
able to accurately replicate EBU Digital, EBU PPM, BBC PPM, DIN PPM, Nordic PPM and VU
scales and ballistics. Please note that the selection of a scale type within the Meter screen will only
be remembered by SAM1 as a preset once the selection has been saved to internal memory using
the User Preset commands described previously. This restriction enables the user to save preset
conditions which work using different bargraph scales.
2.9.2 dBFs Menu
The dBFs parameter selection can be used to alter the 0dBu reference level from between -12 and
-24 dBFs.
