Setting clock and patching signals
Use the SQ I/O screen to patch signals to or from the I/O Port.
Use the Setup / Audio / Audio Sync screen to select the clock source for the
mixer. Typically, this is set to Internal, unless the mixer is syncing from the Waves
card (clock slave), for example in a digital split setup.
For more information on SQ setup and functions please
refer to the SQ Firmware Reference Guide available for
download at www.allen-heath.com.
Use the Waves SoundGrid Studio application to patch SoundGrid signals
to/from other devices or the SG Driver, and to configure the sample rate and
clock settings for the card.
If you set the mixer clock to Internal, set the card clock to
Digital. In a slave system, if you set the mixer to Sync
from the I/O Port, set the card clock to Ethernet.
