13. Third party control
Lab.gruppen IPD Series of ampliers can be controlled directly using any Telnet client software using the same
TCP/IP network connection used for IntelliDrive Controller. (IntelliDrive Controller software need not be active or
even installed on the host computer to enable third-party software control.) However, only limited control functions
are available via third-party clients.
The available functions are:
- Levels/Gain
- Mute
- Standby
- Preset recal
- Locate (Ping)
For detailed information about third party control, please read “IPD Series Third Party Control Instructions” manual,
to be found on the Lab.gruppen website.
14. Operation using front panel controls
14.1. Introduction
All individual amplier control and status functions available through IntelliDrive Controller are also available using
the amplier’s own front-panel controls. It is also possible to create and save presets on the device using the front
panel controls. However, because this process is much more time consuming and less precise, in most cases
users will prefer using IntelliDrive Controller to create presets. The front panel control are best reserved to basic
functions such as on/off, local mute, and preset recall.
14.2. Overview of procedures
All operations using the front panel controls follow the same basic procedure, using the same controls.
MENU button - The Menu button opens menu functions and steps forward through available functions and options
in the currently selected main menu section.
BACK button - The BACK button steps back through the currently selected main menu functions.
ENCODER knob/push button - The encoder knob scrolls through all options or parameter settings available in
the currently selected menu or sub-menu item. For example, the encoder may be used to scroll through available
presets, adjust EQ parameters, set delay times, or scroll through conguration menu items. When a desired value,
option or parameter is down, push down momentarily on the knob to enter into device memory as part of the preset.
For a detailed menu tree, please refer to Section 15.1.
