General

You can name each of your DCS or Maestro work stations so displayed lists are more meaningful, choose whether to use the standard 16-node station list or the expanded 64-node station list, and decide how edited .DAF files will be saved.

Editing of .DAF file headers is available only in the registered "Pro" version of iDAF.

Make your choices for each of the items selected according to the following guidelines:

Item	Usage
Use 64 Stations (Nodes)	If checked, the station list is expanded to 64 stations (nodes). You can then assign stations for distribution when editing carts. As a default, this item is unchecked.
Save Edited Carts as .DFF Files	If checked, carts that are edited are saved with a file extension of .DFF instead of the standard .DAF extension. .DFF files are imported directly by an ACP server if placed in the server’s audio directory. As a default, this item is checked.
Auto-Save DCS/Maestro *.DAT file	If checked, a standard XStudio/DCS/Maestro inventory data file is automatically created when a file scan is completed. The name of the file is "cminvZZ.dat" and is located in the iDAF application folder. The saved file can be used by any application that supports the standard Computer Concepts Corporation inventory file. As a default, this item is unchecked.
Lazy Scanning	If checked, file scanning operations are slowed down using the the Lazy Scan Interval property. Use this option if scanning operations are using too much CPU time on the PC whose folders are being scanned. This option is useful if scanning an older ACP server. As a default, this item is unchecked.
Lazy Scan Interval	The amount of time, in milliseconds, that audio scan operations will "breathe". Default value = 100 milliseconds.
Station Names	A list of available stations. You can name them to something more meaningful. [Double-Click] on the station name you wish to change to edit the name. The station names are listed in order of Computer Concepts Corporation's node numbering scheme (1..16 or 1..64). If you are unsure about which stations are which node number, check your DCS or Maestro configuration for this information.
