pulsar 1 question?

[YiannisK]

Anyone have any info about adding a pulsar 1 card withe 2 scope pro cards?
is Pulsar 1 a type 1?
what is the difference between type 1 and type 2?

Pulsar 1 as good

Other Question
I have 2 scope cards

1 says powerpulsar year 2003

2nd says scope PD with scope key year 2000

what is a scope PD?
is it different than my other card?

BTW both cards work great in my computer.

Any info would be great

Thanks

Pulsar 1 works fine with later Scope card (using the STDM cables) as it uses the later card's low latency.

Are you sure it doesn't say SCOPE DP? If so you have one of the developer cards, which means you could make and sell Scope devices. However you probably have to have a licence of some sort to do that and i'm not sure if you would have got that buying it second-hand.

All 4 DSP cards are revision 1 boards. (type 1)

what is the difference between type 1 and type 2?

type2 is a second revision (6DSP) and its ULLI can be as low as 2 ms.
Type 1 can't be set to lower latency

that is revision 2

2nd says scope PD with scope key year 2000

ALL DP's are revision 1
revision 2 scopes came out in late 2001 and were called PowerPulsar


what is a scope PD?

Development Package

is it different than my other card?

only in the ULLI thing.

BTW both cards work great in my computer.

good

the DP license was part of the regular Scope package in 2000, it was a significant part of the selling price those days...
He can use it 'as is' in a perfectly legal way - the software should be on the original CD that came with the card (if there was any CD...)

Thanks guys for all replies!

Is there an issue with ulli between the two cards?
I don't think there is as for as I can tell with my DAW.

This is what one of my cards has written on the sticker.

Scope SP SN: *********** (whatever)
(c) Creamware PD: 28.09.00
Scope KEY : ********** (whatever)

It is PD not DP.

If my card is a Developers card, I did not get a CD with it.
Only allkeys.
If this is a developers card how do I get the software?

I think this is good news??

Any info to add?

Thanks all

Ali,
how you doing ?
thanks for everything again.
Hows the wheather in BC?
I'll give you a call soon
Take care

that's scope SP not PD. scope SP was the top of the line package without the developer's tools.

weren't scope SPs, or at least the later ones, type2s as well? still, it doesn't matter that much. you'll get low latency because the powerpulsar is type 2. put it closest to the video card.

This is exactly what the card has printed on it.
So whats the PD for?

Put Which card closest to the video card?
I thought that the cards should be furthest from the video card, I think I read it somewhere.
Not that I think your wrong but Thats what I thought.
also why should whatever card be closest to the video card?

Thanks for your replies.

Scope SP is Scope Studio Package
PD: 28.09.00 is Product Date was on 09/28/2000

Hope that helps.

you will need to use 2 slots. one slot will be closer to the video card.

put the newer card in the slot(of the two used) that is closer to the video card, and the older card in the slot that is further from the video card.

the exact best slots depend on the motherboard and your computer's configuration. a little patience and you can easily determine the best setup. i can help you when you're ready if you want, but basically, among the programs, there is one called "system information". under hardware-conflicts/sharing, you can see if the scope cards appear sharing with anything else. your job, if you accept it, is to eliminate irq sharing involving your cards, if any sharing exists.

most from scratch installs go something like this:
in the bios, disable any parallel, serial and other unused ports and built-in sound. install the os and set it up. then turn off the computer and install the cards. install drivers. go to system information and check for irq sharing. if there is irq sharing, you can try the other pci slot(s). likley, you will end up with a shared irq involving a card and a usb controller or two that will not go away. choose this over the scope card sharing with a sata controller or the video card. this usb controller will have a number identifying it like 24DY or similar. open the device manager, open usb devices and disable the controller(s) that are sharing irqs with the scope card. you should still have 2-4 usable usb controllers for your usb devices and all or most or your ports will still work. close system information and then reopen it. this way the updated info will be available to be seen. the scope card(s) should now be absent from the list of shared irqs, and the hardware should work properly.
