UAD Meter & Control Panel Application
The UAD Meter & Control Panel Application is used to configure global functionality that
pertains to all UAD-2 devices in the same system (the same application is used for all
UAD-2 products). All UAD-2 global system settings are set within this application. The
application consists of two components: The UAD Meter and the UAD Control Panels.
UAD Meter
The UAD Meter window (at right) displays the
current DSP, memory, and FireWire status of
all active UAD-2 hardware (including multiple
devices). These meters are also present in
Console, beneath the main output level me-
ters.
UAD Control Panels
The UAD Control Panel window has multiple
panels that display, and enable control of, the
various UAD-2 system, plug-in, and global
configuration parameters.
The screenshot at right shows the System
Info panel, one of five control panel windows
in the UAD Meter & Control Panel applica-
tion.
Accessing UAD Meter & Control Panel
The application can be accessed (after soft-
ware installation) from the Mac OS X Dock or
the Windows Start Menu. See
for
details.
Details About the Application
Complete documentation for the UAD Meter
& Control Panel application is in the UAD
System Manual.
Apollo Device Drivers
The Apollo device drivers are the low-level system software files that instruct the com-
puter’s operating system on how to communicate with the Apollo hardware. The drivers
are loaded during system startup so whenever Apollo is connected, the interface is ready
to accept instructions from the OS and audio applications.
