Grouping
The grouping function offers a powerful way of organising multiple devices into groups,
whose parameters can then be controlled together.
To create a group, left-click the first device, shift-left-click the last device, right-click any of
the selected devices and select ‘Create new Device Group’. You can name your new group
in the left panel.
Now, when a chosen parameter is altered, the value for all the devices in that group change
together.
Device Firmware
Firmware is a set of instructions which runs inside the device, designed to inform your
processor of its purpose and functions. As part of our programme of continuing
improvement, firmware updates may be released from time to time, and when you launch a
panel for a device it may recommend that you update the firmware. You can use
TurboDrive to update the firmware in an attached device.
Firmware files can be identified by the .dfw (device firmware) extension. The file name will
contain the device model number (before the V) and firmware version (after the V) number
as shown below. So, in the above example, the firmware is for Model 1169 ( -4) and its
version number is 1.234. You should always use the same model as the one you are
updating, and always update to a newer firmware version – never revert to an earlier
version.
