Overview:

This article outlines the process of deploying an AVX Architect design file to live hardware.

Procedure:

Deployment involves loading and syncing the AVX Architect project to the connected devices.

Begin by ensuring that all devices have been matched to the project.  If device matching has not yet been completed, refer to the article AVX Architect - Matching Devices to the Project​.

Select the Deploy and Connect button located in the top-right corner of the AVX Architect interface.

If there are any factory or custom panels open a confirmation pop-up will appear.

Select OK to close any open project windows or panels.

The DEPLOYMENT WIZARD​ will open, displaying all devices, their information, and available status and sync options.  In this example there is one OMNI 256p and one instances of AVX Control present.  

For first-time deployment, the only available options will be to Load or Ignore the configuration.

Selecting Ignore will prevent the configuration from being pushed to that device.

AVX Control will display a default state indicating it is waiting for a control panel.

Begin the deployment process by selecting the Deploy and Connect button in the bottom-right corner of the DEPLOYMENT WIZARD.

The loading process may take additional time depending on the number of devices being deployed.

Once deployment is complete, devices will appear green with check mark indicators in the DEPLOYMENT WIZARD.

Select Continue in the bottom-right corner to return to the SYSTEM view.

Devices will now appear green, show as connected, and the custom panel will be loaded into AVX Control.

In a live configuration, these panels will actively control the system.

Even with AVX Architect disconnected from the system, the AVX Control instance remains active and can continue to make changes to the system.

Modify several parameters on the AVX Control app, then initiate the Deploy and Connect process again in AVX Architect.

This time, the configuration will appear as equal, since no changes were made to the design file.  However, a parameter sync option will be available.

​​ ​​

This occurs because the AVX Control panel made changes to the DSP while offline.

Two sync options will be presented: RX (receive parameters from the device) and TX (transmit parameters to the device).

The checkboxes on the left side of the device list in the DEPLOYMENT WIZARD can be used  to select multiple devices to apply actions to.

Deploy and Connect again.  A parameter sync is typically faster than a full configuration deployment.

Devices that do not require a parameter sync will ignore the command.

The device list may be sorted by selecting any column header such as Name, Manufacturer, or Family.  Clicking the header again will reverse the sort order.

Columns may also be resized, auto-sized, or reset to default sizes using the button located in the column header area.​
