The input and output nominal level and input and output headroom define

the maximum value of the acceptable input signal. Set the nominal level to the

currently used nominal level. The headroom should be set to avoid any risk of

overload. If set beyond the installed card’s capabilities, the driver

automatically sets the correct values. In this case, the displayed values are

wrong.

selection. On the VXpocket 440 only the first stereo channel may be selected

for digital input. Nominal and Headroom apply simultaneously to all four

channels.
