Bit Drive features the multiple instance mode of the software. This feature allows you to simultaneously open two instances of bit Drive on a single PC to:
◼︎ simultaneously configure two amplifiers connected via USB to the same PC;
◼︎ configure an amplifier connected via USB to the PC and open a setup file in Offline mode for
reference.
IMPORTANT: this function is available starting from the bit Drive release version v.1.0.11.0.
8.1 CONFIGURATION OF TWO AMPLIFIERS CONNECTED WITH USB TO THE SAME PC
IMPORTANT
This mode inhibits some functions of the software in the second bi Drive instance (identified by the abbreviation multi), and could cause incorrect operation even in the first instance:
◼︎ Input Delay/Polarity check in the Configuration Wizard
◼︎ Input de-eq in the Configuration Wizard
◼︎ Electrical RTA in the Input Equalizer window
◼︎ Audio monitor
Therefore, if you want to make full use of these functions for both products, it is advisable to do so with the amplifiers connected to bit Drive one at a time (so not at the same time) and without using this mode.
Follow these steps:
1. open bit Drive and connect to the first amplifier
2. Open the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Audison\bitDrive, and run the bitDrive (multi).exe file.
3. A second Splash screen of the software will show up.
4. Connect to the second amplifier in the list. A second window of bit Drive will open, named as bit Drive (multi) to be differentiated by the first.
WARNING
Do not select the same device that is already connected in the first instance. This may create malfunctions of the product. Therefore, pay attention to the serial number of the product you are selecting.
5. At this point it is possible to configure and finalize the two amplifiers independently through the two instances of bit Drive.
8.2 CONFIGURATION OF AN AMPLIFIER CONNECTED WITH USB TO THE PC AND OPENING OF A SETUP FILE IN OFFLINE MODE
Follow these steps:
1. open bit Drive and connect to the first amplifier
2. open the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Audison\bitDrive, and run the bitDrive (multi).exe file.
3. A second Splash screen of the software will show up.
4. Select the Offline mode and choose the virtual model to open the reference setup file.
5. A second istance of bit Drive will show up, named as bit Drive (multi) to differentiate it from the first.
6. Open the reference setup file in this second istance.
7. At this point it is possible to configure and finalize the amplifier connected and to view at the same time the reference setup file in Offline mode.
