Connect-165 Preferences
The preferences menu provides a few options that apply to the overall operation and function of Connect. To start Connect automatically whenever you login to your account on your computer, add Connect as a Login Item in Users & Groups in the Systems Preferences.
Check for updates
When checked, Connect will contact the Infusion Systems website to check if there is a newer version of Connect or a newer version of the firmware for any of the devices that are in the device list. The update check is performed upon startup and then once every week while Connect stays running.
Check for USB-microDig driver on start
When checked, Connect verifies that the USB-microDig driver is installed and if not shows an alert to download the driver.
Show devices on start
When checked, Connect opens the digitizer view and shows the last viewed device upon startup of Connect.
Delete MIDI port upon disable
This is by default unchecked. It sets Connect to keep the MIDI port that's associated with a digitizer, registered in MacOS even though the digitizer may not be connected to it. This feature prevents software, like Cycling74 Max, that does not (yet) dynamically update the available MIDI ports, from malfunctioning due to failed MIDI port searches.
Allow hardware flow control when connecting
This is by default unchecked. It sets Connect to use the RTS signal of the hardware flow control protocol for serial peripheral devices if a serial port is found yet no response is received from the serial device. This feature may be useful when connecting older digitizers.
Enable OSC input on Port ....
This enables control of actuator outputs of a digitizer via OSC. OSC messages should be sent to localhost (127.0.0.1). The Port field can be set to any number but note that many port numbers are used by applications. If the port is unavailable, the text "in use" will appear next to the port. In that case, check whether the port number is in use by another application or use another port. The default port number 9999 set by Connect is not guaranteed to be conflict-free. See the OSC input section for more information about OSC input.
