Settings>

Set Date and Time: opens “Set Date and Time” dialogue box, permitting the

FlashMic’s internal clock to be reset. This clock is used to time-stamp recorded

audio files. (Keyboard shortcut: CTRL + T)

Note this menu option is unavailable unless a FlashMic is connected to the computer

and turned on.

Set DRM Name: opens “Set DRM Name” dialogue box, allowing the name of the

FlashMic currently connected to be changed (maximum 6 characters). The factory

default name is DRM85. This name forms part of the file header of each recorded

sound file, so renaming the FlashMic to a unique name (e.g., that of the user) is of

great assistance when multiple FlashMics are employed. (Keyboard shortcut: CTRL

+ R.) See FlashMic File Names, page 36 for more information.

Note this menu option is unavailable unless a FlashMic is connected to the computer

and turned on.

Presets>

Set Default Values: resets all parameter fields of the FlashMic Manager window

to the factory default values determined by the file Defaults.cfg, for the currently

selected preset (1 – 9). Any existing set of preset values is overwritten, but the

configuration file to which they belong is unchanged. The configuration within the

FlashMic also remains unchanged until a file upload is performed. This menu option

is unavailable unless a configuration file has already been loaded into FlashMic

Manager. (Keyboard shortcut: CTRL + D)

Clear Preset Values: simply clears all parameter windows; the loaded configuration

file and the FlashMic itself are unchanged. (Keyboard shortcut: CTRL + L)

Help>

Help: opens the Help file. (Keyboard shortcut: F1)

About: displays the FlashMic Manager software version number.
