About the “PM1D Manager for Windows operating manual”
About the “PM1D Manager for Windows operating manual”
PM1D Manager for Windows (subsequently referred to
as “PM1D Manager”) is an application program that
runs on a computer running Microsoft Windows (subsequently referred to as the “PC”), providing the same
operating environment as the software of the CS1D
(subsequently referred to as the “console”).
By using PM1D Manager, you can create various types of
settings even when you are away from the console, and
use a memory card (*) or other means to load settings
into the console at a later time. In addition, you can connect the console/engine (DSP1D-EX {DSP1D}) to your
PC, and use it to control the entire system in the same
way as from the console.
This manual explains only items that are specific to
PM1D Manager; how to install the program, how to
connect your PC to the console/engine, and functional
limitations of operations from the PC.
For details on basic operation in each screen, please refer
to the “CS1D Reference Manual (Software)” contained
in the CS1D Owner’s Manual.
For details on terminology and basic operation for Windows, please refer to the manual or Help files included
with Windows.
*For details on the memory cards that can be used, refer to
“CS1D Operation Manual (Basic Operation)” p.144, and
“CS1D Reference Manual (Hardware)” p.80 contained in
the CS1D Owner’s Manual.
