Interface Modes
The Interface features two primary modes of operation: Design Mode and Live Mode. This provides you with the option of
creating configurations for the DFR22 regardless of whether or not the computer is connected to the device. There are cer-
tain functions that are specific to each mode, which are explained throughout the manual.

Design Mode
When you launch the application, you always begin in Design Mode. This is the mode you use to create presets
that are later stored in the DFR22. In this mode, it is not necessary for the computer to be connected to the device.
You can save the presets you create to your computer, which may later be recalled and sent to the device through
the RS-232 connection. This provides you with the capability to design presets in a location other than where the
equipment is installed.

Live Mode
This mode allows you to make real-time adjustments to hardware presets while the computer is connected to the
DFR22. This provides you with the means to instantly hear changes to signal processing as you alter settings, so you
can easily refine your presets on site. Everything you do in Live Mode is written directly to the current live preset.

Preview Mode
When working in Live Mode with a device that contains multiple presets, you may recall them individually for real-
time modification. When you select a preset to load into the signal flow diagram, the window enters preview mode
to give you the opportunity to verify your selection before you designate it as the next live preset. The interface
returns to Live Mode when you load the preset, or cancel the operation.
