Realtime Rack Manual Chapter 5: UAD Meter & Control Panel 122
Using the UAD Meter
The UAD Meter & Control Panel can be launched or quit at any time. It does not need to
be open or active to use the Realtime Rack application or UAD Powered Plug-Ins; it is
completely independent. You can move the UAD Meter to a convenient location on your
screen by dragging its window title bar.
Note: If “No Devices Found” appears in the UAD Meter window instead of the
expected buttons and gauges, the Realtime Rack drivers are not communicating
with the Realtime Rack hardware unit. If this occurs, double-check the hardware
and software installations, make sure the hardware is powered and connected to
the computer, and/or contact customer support.
