4.2 Launching PurePath Console With Multiple Devices

When PurePath Console is launched, it queries the user on how many devices are connected to an AC-MB, as shown in Figure 21. In this dialog window, after selecting two PCM6xx0 devices and clicking on next, the main window shown in Figure 22 launches.

PurePath Console configures only one device at a time. The devices are labeled by a device icon with a letter at the top of the screen, as shown in Figure 22. Clicking on device icon A programs the lower number I²C address, B programs the next I²C address, and so forth.

The Audio Serial Bus tab assigns each channel of a device to a slot. In Figure 23, the device A input channels 1-4 are assigned to slots 0-3, respectively. In Figure 24, the device B input channels 1-4 are assigned to slots 4-7. Note that the previous slots in the TDM bus are not shown, but an ellipsis at the beginning of the audio interface signal line plot in BCLK, FSYNC, and SDOUT signifies that other slots precede these slots.

Clicking on the upper right window expansion icon of the Audio Serial Bus graphic shows all slots and all devices, as shown in Figure 25.
