you to cancel or confirm the screenshot. If you are connected to a computer, eject 

Clarity M before confirming. The image will appear in the Screenshots folder 

when connected to a computer.

9.  System

Press the 5th button to access the System menu. This allows several global 

adjustments and preferences to be set.

1.  When the Clarity M is connected to a computer via USB, it can operate in two 

modes (USB Modes):

Disk Drive Mode

Use this setting to:
 - Organize presets: Rename, copy, delete or move 

- Add your company's logo to the front screen of Clarity M 

- Transfer screenshots from Clarity M to your computer’s hard drive 

- Update firmware
 

Plug-in Mode

Use Plug-in Mode if you want to use the Clarity M plug-in as a sound source 

for the Clarity M meter.
 When switching from Disk Drive mode to Plug-in Mode, Clarity M will no 

longer be a USB drive, and to prevent data loss you will be prompted to use 

the eject feature of your computer to eject the Clarity M USB Drive from  

your computer.

2.  Select the input source. When using digital inputs, AES or optical, the options 

are AES 1, 2, 3, 1-3 (5.1 surround*

2

), and optical. When USB Mode is set to  

Plug-in, the input will automatically be changed to Plug-in. Note that  

changing the input causes the meters to reset. 

3.  In case you work in surround, this parameter determines in which order the 

channels are displayed. This parameter has no effect on the routing of the 

channels; the audio channel routing of Clarity M is fixed to the ITU routing 

matrix (L-R-C-LFE-LS-RS). It affects only the order the channels are displayed.  

The options are:
Film: L-C-R-LS-RS-LFE  

ITU: L-R-C-LFE-LS-RS 

This feature does not apply to the Stereo model.

4.  Select the function of the rotary knob when using the radar meter.

*The Stereo model does not support surround.

5.  Select the function of GPI 1 and 2. Each can trigger pause or reset commands 

from a remote device.

6.  Select the function of the GPO. This can send either the Peak, Loud, or  'Peak 

or Loud' indications to an external device. See Chapter 6 - Radar section 

for details. 

7.  Adjust the LCD brightness.
8.  Adjust the LCD contract.
9.  Scroll through a list of system information.
