Settings
Users are able to adjust various buffer times in the Settings sec-
tion.
The Stream Buffer Depth is adjustable between 0.5 and 20 mil-
liseconds. It adjusts the buffer used when streaming a signal
from the Helix Board 18 FireWire MKII. If the depth is set too
high, an obvious latency will become evident. If the depth is too
low, various clicks and pops may become obvious. It is best to
set the Stream Buffer Depth to a level that allows users to get the
lowest latency, while still maintaining an optimal performance.
The default settings are ideal for most computers.
The ASIO Buffer Depth is adjustable between 4 and 40 milli-
seconds. This allows users to adjust the latency of the stream
received by ASIO driver-based software (including Steinberg Cu-
base LE 4).
The WDM (Windows Driver Model) Sound Buffer Depth is adjust-
able between 4 and 40 milliseconds. This allows users to adjust
the latency of the stream received by WDM based programs.
Also in this section, users are able to view their "drop out sta-
tistics", where the number of times the FireWire connection has
been interrupted can be viewed.
Streams
In the Streams section, the Helix Board 18 FireWire MKII device
properties can be viewed. Each input and output stream can
be scrutinized, and the isochronous stream number and its sup-
ported sampling rates can be viewed.
