Re: Need help with audiocore and xta 226 pc connection.
Ramiro,
I bought serial cables for mine for under $5 each off eBay. Sorry I can't show you in person. I'm in Boston for a few months but I'll be back in San Francisco come June. I essentially have a 226, but my version doesn't have the front panel controls.
I've only used mine with a RS232-USB adaptor. That caused all my problems! While I don't have my unit in front of me, I set baud rate on the unit to 38000 (I think that's the max). Make sure this is set the same on the DSP and in Audiocore. If you have problems with that, it might be useful to try lowering it. Make sure the unit is set for 'Master' mode.
In Windows XP, right click 'My Computer', then Properties. I'm not sure what tab it's in, maybe System- get into Device Manager. In there, you can see what's plugged into each of your COM ports. I'm pretty sure you need to selected this in addition to the baud rate inside Audiocore. There might even be a setting for baud rate in COM port's preferences inside device manager. I don't have Windows on this laptop, so I can't pull it up in front of me.
Also, make sure you have the latest firmware on your device.
One more thing... Did you just purchase this used? There's another piece of software from XTA that will lock the device. It's a security measure to prevent unauthorized access. I think it only locks out the front panel, but may affect Audiocore as well.
Hope my rambling helps
