9. Configuring the DIGI9636
9.1 General Information
Configuring Hammerfall Light is done using its own settings dialog, RME DIGI Settings.
The DIGI9636 hardware offers a number of helpful, well thought-of practical functions and
options which affect how the card operates - the DIGI9636 can be configured to suit many
different requirements. The following is available in the 'Settings' dialog:
• Input selection
• Output mode
• Output channel status
• Synchronization behaviour
• Input and output status display
• Time code display
The setting ‘Buffer Size’ determines
the latency between incoming and
outgoing data, as well as affecting
system stability (see chapter 13).
We recommend selecting the
highest value here (8192 Samples)
- the board itself will still run
comfortably.
The status displays at the bottom of
the dialog box give the user precise
information about the current status
of the board, and the status of all
signals. ‘SyncCheck’ indicates
whether there is a valid signal for
each input (‘Lock’ or ‘No Lock’), or if there is a valid and synchronous signal (‘Sync’). The ‘Sync
Ref’ display shows the input and frequency of the current sync source.
'Time Code' displays time information received from the card’s ADAT Sync In. This is
convenient for checking whether the system is running in time with the transmitting device (e.g.
ADAT).
