<p id="siteSub">The graphical representation of the audio
|
||||
system created in <a href="MAINIntroduction.htm">London
|
||||
Architect</a> is correlated to processor code programs
|
||||
that run inside the hardware boxes (e.g. the BLU and FDS
|
||||
series). As the design is created it is itself continuously
|
||||
compiled in the background ready to be uploaded to the
|
||||
hardware at any time. Some systems, such as the <a href="Control_Panels.html">control
|
||||
panels</a> and device configurations, can be changed in
|
||||
real time.</p>
|
||||
<p>In the System Menu there is an option to <a href="Recompile All Device Configurations.html">Recompile
|
||||
All Device Configurations</a>. This can be used to ensure
|
||||
that the system is updated with any design changes you
|
||||
may have made. If you <span style="font-weight: bold;">Run</span>
|
||||
the system the design will compile if necessary and go
|
||||
<a href="MAINOnline_mode.htm">online</a> to the devices.</p>

<h2>Resource Meter</h2>
|
||||
<p><img src="Compiling.JPG" alt="image:compiling.JPG" title="image:compiling.JPG" style="border-width: 2px; border-style: solid;
|
||||
margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;
|

margin-right: 0px;" width="611" height="38" border="2"></p>
|
||||
<p>The compiler resource meter can be found on the blue
|
||||
bar at the top of the Configuration Window for all devices
|
||||
with DSP.  This shows the percentage of DSP resource
|
||||
used for each box. The meter is green while the design
|
||||
is using less than 100% and no errors. If there are any
|
||||
errors in the design, such as unwired inputs, the meter
|
||||
will be orange. If this is the case then check the compiler
|
||||
report for any error messages or warnings and fix the
|
||||
problem.</p>

||||

<h3>Out of juice?</h3>
|
||||
<p>If the processing required outstrips the available
|
||||
DSP the bar changes to red and warns that the amount
|
||||
of processing objects used in this configuration won't
|
||||
fit in the device, i.e. further devices will be required
|
||||
to fulfil the extra DSP duties.</p>
|
||||
<p>Hover the mouse over the resource meter a tool tip
|
||||
states whether the compile is successful also. If
|
||||
the meter colour changes to orange this suggests that
|
||||
the configuration is unlikely to work; the tool tip
|
||||
states that the compile has "warnings" and
|
||||
to see the <a href="MAINCompiler_Report.htm">Compiler
|
||||
Report</a> for further information. This could be
|
||||
due to unconnected processing objects left in the
|
||||
configuration layout; these should be removed if not
|
||||
needed.</p>
|
||||
<p>When processing objects are added to the layout
|
||||
the resource meter, and its tool tip, states that
|
||||
it is "Compiling". The status bar at the
|
||||
bottom of the screen also shows a waveform animation
|
||||
to represent the background activity.</p>
|
||||
<p>A further "Advanced Resource Usage" dialog
|
||||
is available by double clicking on the resource meter;
|
||||
this displays further statistics relating to the DSP
|
||||
loading and assignment.</p>

||||

|

<h2>Compiler Report</h2>
|
||||
<p>The <a href="MAINCompiler_Report.htm">Compiler Report</a>
|
||||
is available from the view menu or by selecting its
|
||||
tab panel. It shows a list of any failed connections
|
||||
within the device configuration. If any processing
|
||||
object is not wired up an entry details whether it
|
||||
is an input or output that is at fault and the device
|
||||
that is affected. Red arrows represent the signal
|
||||
flow. Double clicking on an entry will locate the
|
||||
offending object by highlighting it in the design
|
||||
window, making quick repairs possible - either wire
|
||||
it up properly or delete it. A drop down box at the
|
||||
top of the report allows the warnings to be shown
|
||||
by particular device or, for the complete system.</p>
|
||||

|
||||
<h2>System Output Panel</h2>
|
||||
<p>A more in depth overview of the compilation process
|
||||
is available through the System Output panel (View
|
||||
menu or select its tabbed pane). This is listed by
|
||||
time starting from the initial run of the application.</p>
