HD-P2 Screens and Menus Continued from the previous page Set System Time Figure 21 shows the current time stored in the realtime clock chip of the HD-P2. A backup lithium battery powers this clock. The screen shows the status of this battery. Figure 21 - Set System Time Screen Power Management Figure 22 shows the power readings screen. This information screen shows the state of the HD-P2 power system. It reports on the current voltage levels of the three sources of power for the HD-P2. The FireWire Voltage level should be between 8 and 40 Volts, although some FireWire adaptors may not provide power. The Battery Voltage should nominally be above 10 volts and the batteries should be replaced if below eight. The provided AC adaptor provides approximately 12 VDC. The voltage readings for FireWire and battery will read higher when they are not being used to power the HD-P2. This is because there is no load on them. The HD-P2 automatically switches between AC and Audio Clock Management Figure 22 - Power Reading Screen FireWire when both are present, preferring the higher voltage source. The HD-P2 supports a number of internal and external clocking options. Figure 23 shows the current sample rate along with the values of any external signals, and the measured deviance between their values and what the HD-P2 expects. Whenever there is an error with a clock source falling out of spec the HD-P2 shows [error] next to the item. The Clear Alerts option is used to clear these errors.
