Resource Meter Window
The Resource Meter can be displayed or hidden via the [Navigator] command in the [View] menu.
The Resource Meter window is displayed only when the Configuration window and User Module
window are active. Meters for the DSP memory usage percentage and the SPX resource usage
percentage are in the Resource Meter window. The sampling frequency of each DME unit is also
displayed.
■ DSP Memory Usage Percentage
When you are designing in the Configuration window, it gives you a yardstick for judging the total
usage percentage for DSP memory in the DME unit. In addition, the usage percentage varies
depending on the sampling frequency, even for the same component.
When the configuration is synchronized with the DME unit during online status, checks of
connections and component information begin automatically (this is called compiling). The actual
total usage percentage is calculated after this compiling operation. The usage percentage will vary
according to the number of connections and components. The Resource Meter window gives you
a precompile guideline for use while designing your configuration. An error may occur even when
the meter shows less than 100 percent, based on conditions such as the number of connections,
and type and number of components used. We recommend using the “Analyze” dialog box
(page 298) to check whether compilation will be successful before actually performing the
compilation.
■ SPX Resource Usage Ratio
Displays the resource usage ratio for SPX components and Feedback Suppressor components
arranged in the configuration.
NOTE
Not displayed in the SP2060 configuration window.
NOTE
If a configuration is compiled at fs=44.1kHz or 48kHz, and the sampling frequency is then changed to 88.2kHz or 96kHz, it is
necessary to recompile at 88.2kHz or 96kHz. If this is not done some configurations may produce no sound. In such cases a
“DSP Power Shortage” message will be displayed on the DME unit.
NOTE
The components that can be placed in the configuration window vary according to the device type. For details, see
“Component List” on page 362.
NOTE
If the [Matrix Mixer 64 input 64 output] or the [Matrix Mixer 64 input 32 output] components are placed in the DME64N
configuration window, you will not be able to use other components, even though the window does not reach 100 percent.
