Protection (factory optimised)
Comprehensiveprotectionfeaturespreservethelongevityoftheamplierbycontinuouslymonitoringseveralcriticalparameters,
andreducingthegain,ormutingtheampliereithertemporarilyorpermanentlydependingonthenatureandseriousnessofthe
faultormisuse.Theamplierwillrecoverandrestartifatallpossible,butwillremainshutdownifaseriousfaultpersists(suchas
apermanentshortcircuitontheoutput).
Minorfaultsaredealtwithbyslowly‘dimming’theamplier,reducingtheleveltoasufcientdegreeandforasufcienttimethat
theamplierisabletorecovergracefullywithoutanyuserinteraction.Whenthefaultconditionhaspassed,theamplierwill
slowlyfadeuptonormal.
Moreseriousfaultsmaycausetheampliertomutewhileitrecovers,afterwhichitwillautomaticallyre-energiseandfadeup,
againwithoutuserinteraction.Ifsuchafaultisfoundtobepersistenthowever,theamplierisshutdownpermanently,ashing
itslimiterindicatorsrapidlyinunison.Apowercyclebytheuseristhenrequired.
Anytimetheamplierisbeingprotected,thelimiterindicatorwillashrapidly.
Duringpower-up,VNETwillkeeptheampliermutedforashorttimewhilechecksaremadethatalliswell.Duringthistime,the
indicatorswillbothbesolidlyon.Thesignalisthengentlyfadedup,accompaniedbyrapidlyashingindicators.
Smooth Adjustment
Wheneveraparameterischanged,VNETwillassessthelikelyimpactonthesignalpath,andwillintelligentlysmoothlyrampto
thenewvalue,ormuteforashorttimeifthechangecouldotherwisecauseanyundesirablesoundtobereproduced.
Power ON & OFF
Atthebottomlefthandcornerofthecontrolpanelthereisapowerbutton.Activatingthisbuttonwillshutdowntheamplier.
TheDSPsectionremainsactive.
Saving & Recalling Data
DeviceDatamaybesavedtodiskoropenedfromdisk.
PodWareDeviceDatales(withleextension.dse)containallthedatanecessarytorestoreadevicetoexactlythesamestate
aswhenthelewassaved.
Ifthecurrentsettingshavebeenchangedsincethelastlesaveorleopen,theSaveIcononthetoolbarwillbeshowninsolid
colour.Ifthesettingsarealreadysafe,theSaveiconappearsgrey.
Ifaleisopenedwhenon-linetodevices,thenewdatawillbesenttothedevice,overwritingwhateverwasinthedevice.
Awarningwillbegivenbeforethisisdone.
Datasavedfromonedevicecanbereopenedinanothertosavetimeinputtingdata.(Assumingsettingsaretobeduplicated)
Podwarewillalwaystrytoprotectyourdata,warningyouifyouareattemptinganactionthatcouldcauselossofdata.
