User Guide  
1 INTRODUCING THE HELIX DN9848E REMOTE CONTROL  
SOFTWARE  
The HELIX DN9848E Remote Control Software (HELIX DN9848E RCS) enables engineers to remotely  
program a system of up to 16 HELIX DN9848E System Controller units from a laptop or PC for onward  
downloading to the HELIX DN9848E System Controller units at a venue. Hence, programming can be  
done in advance of a show from home or en route, leaving more time for fine-tuning.  
At the venue, the settings can be quickly downloaded to the system. Thereafter, a HELIX DN9848E RCS  
tablet/laptop PC can be used for real-time control of the system during both set-up and performance.  
Using the HELIX DN9848E RCS offers an enhanced visual overview of unit performance, as well as  
significant time-saving in switching between units, navigating ‘processing’ views and adjusting settings.  
Furthermore, for optimal control during set-up, the tablet/laptop PC can be set up to communicate with  
the system over a wireless connection, leaving the engineer free to move around the venue while  
adjusting the processor settings. For performance, Ethernet communication is used, although there is  
an option for conventional serial RS-232, if required. Settings can also be uploaded from the HELIX  
DN9848E System Controller units to the HELIX DN9848E RCS.  
In addition to the active settings, HELIX DN9848E RCS can also be used to remotely program the  
32 lockable system memories and 5 user memories.  
The HELIX DN9848E RCS runs as an Add-In to the Midas Klark Teknik ELGAR Library Manager, enabling  
you to work on settings for your system controller devices alongside other Midas or Klark Teknik  
devices, such as a H1000 console or DN9340 and DN9344 EQ units, and save them all in a single show  
file. The show file can then be reused at subsequent venues. In addition, you can minimise time and  
effort by copying settings between the HELIX DN9848E RCS Add-In units.  
Please note that, for the purposes of this manual, a HELIX DN9848E unit is the actual physical version  
connected to the system and an RCS unit is a unit in HELIX DN9848E RCS. Also, some of the  
screenshots in the manual may appear slightly different to those on your screen due to configuration  
and status of the system, units and your laptop/PC.  
Note Earlier DN9848 devices (non-E) may be connected to, and controlled using the HELIX DN9848E  
RCS provided that the connection to these devices is in accordance with Appendix 12.2 of this  
User Guide.

Software Installation  
HELIX DN9848E RCS Add-In is provided as an ‘.exe’ file from the Klark Teknik website  
(www.klarkteknik.com) with an integral Setup Wizard that guides you through the installation process  
on your laptop/PC.  
Note We recommend that you save the .exe file to your desktop - or other holding folder - rather  
than opening the file while the Internet transfer is in progress. This will avoid the possibility of  
the integral Setup Wizard interrupting the transfer, especially on slower internet connections.  
After you have downloaded the .exe file, install it on your laptop/PC as follows:  
1
Run the “DN9848ERCS_Vn_nn.exe” file (where “n_nn” is  
the latest software version). The Setup Wizard should  
appear on-screen within a few seconds.

3.2.2 Navigation  
To move around the screens, click on the buttons in FastNav®; see section 3.2.1. Further screens, such  
as the input and output response graphs, routing page and those from the buttons on the input and  
output channel control panels, are all available from the DN9848 Units Home screen; see section 3.4.3.  
3.2.3 Tool tips  
‘Tool tips’ are boxes that appear for a short while  
underneath the cursor when it pauses over certain  
objects. These boxes contain a single line of text that  
gives you useful information on the object, such as  
the range of adjustment on a control knob (diagram  
right), the function of a button or the description of a  
field.  
3.2.4 Using the on-screen controls  
This section gives details on adjusting or resetting the on-screen controls, such as control knobs, faders  
etc.  
To adjust a control knob  
1
Click on control knob to select it. A dotted box surrounding the  
object will appear to indicate that it has been selected (see  
diagram right).  
2
Once selected you can adjust the control knob’s setting – shown in  
the white box directly underneath - via the mouse or laptop/PC  
keyboard; a combination of both may also be useful. The  
on-screen control knob will rotate and the setting value will alter  
accordingly.  
Mouse: To adjust the value using the mouse, position the cursor within the dotted box and  
click the left-hand mouse button. Then, while holding down the button, move the mouse to  
make the required adjustment. The way in which the mouse movements alter the setting  
depend on the Knob Mouse Direction configuration, see Section 6.4. When you have achieved  
the required setting value, release left-hand mouse button. If you run out of adjustment  
due to cursor reaching edge of screen, which may happen on the Delay control knobs due to  
the large amount of adjustment available, select control knob again and repeat adjustment.  
Keyboard: Using certain keys on your laptop/PC keyboard you can adjust the control knob  
in regular increments (with the exception of frequency, which has a logarithmic scale). The  
increment value is dependent on control knob function, adjustment range and unit type.  
The keys give the following type of adjustment for each control knob, irrespective of Knob  
Mouse Direction configuration:  
Home and End keys take you to the minimum and maximum values, respectively.  
Page Up and Page Down keys give coarse adjustment in positive and negative directions,  
respectively. To protect the system these keys do not function for grouping rotaries.  
u and v arrow keys give moderate adjustment in positive and negative directions,  
respectively. To protect the system these keys do not function for grouping rotaries.  
s and t arrow keys give fine adjustment in negative and positive directions,  
respectively.

3.4.1 Memory View screens  
The Memory View has three screens, RCS Memories, Unit Memories and Copy RCS Memories, from which you can  
manage the system units’ working memory. The screens are described in the following subsections and  
operations involving the screens are described in detail within Section 9.  
Each input has 32 lockable system memories (System 01 to System 32 for storing standard set-ups),  
five free access user memories (User 01 to User 05 for storing set ups for the current show) and one  
working memory. Each memory holds a store of 32 packets of memory, numbered from 1 to 32, with  
each one corresponding to the 32 available system unit slots.  
The working memory contains the current working settings for the system units and is stored in the  
current RCS show file.  
RCS Memories screen  
The RCS Memories screen lets you store/recall the working memory of selected RCS units to/from one of  
the system or user memory stores. You can reset working memories, and individual and collective

working memory on any RCS units. For a full description see Section 9.
