Amp Editor V1.3.0 for Win 8/7/Vista/XP (Previous version)

  • This version supports Windows 8.
  • Since this software was not designed to be operated via a touch panel in Windows 8, we cannot guarantee operation via a touch panel.
  • Use the Editor with the supported firmware listed in the following table.
  • If you have already installed an older version of Amp Editor, please un-install it first and then install the new version.
  • Amp Editor V1.3.0 supports XMV firmware V1.12 or later. If you are using an XMV unit that has firmware V1.11 or earlier, you must use MTX Editor to update the firmware to V1.12 or later.
  • Please do not use the EEE function (*) of network switches in a Dante network. Although power management should be negotiated automatically in switches that support EEE, some switches do not perform the negotiation properly. This may cause EEE to be enabled in Dante networks when it is not appropriate, resulting in poor synchronization performance and occasional dropouts. Therefore we strongly recommend that:
  • 1. If you use managed switches, ensure that they allow EEE to be disabled. Make sure that EEE is disabled on all ports used for real-time Dante traffic. 
    2. If you use unmanaged switches, make sure to not use network switches that support the EEE function, since EEE operation cannot be disabled in these switches. 

    * EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet) is a technology that reduces switch power consumption during periods of low network traffic. It is also known as Green Ethernet and IEEE802.3az.

Fixed Bugs

  • Fixed the problem in which the "Output level too high" alert enable/disable check box for the PC-N and Tn series was not shown in the "Alert Setup" dialog box, preventing this setting from being made.

  • Fixed the problem in which the "Preference" dialog box "Peak Hold" check box and "Enable Level Meters check box settings were not linked with the settings of the Device Detail View context menu.

  • Fixed the problem that had caused the channel name display to be blank in the Rename Label menu of the Tree View window when opening a project file to which any channel name was assigned.
  • Fixed the problem that had caused the meter display not to be cleared correctly when the system was taken offline while meters were displayed.

Known issues

  • If the power of the network switch located between the computer and the XMV is repeatedly restarted, there are rare occasions in which the XMV can no longer be recognized from Amp Editor. If this occurs, the XMV must be restarted.

NOTICE

  • It is not possible for an XMV unit assigned to a MTX system to be monitored/controlled from Amp Editor. After an XMV unit has been used within the MTX system, that XMV unit must be initialized if you want to monitor/control it from Amp Editor.
