The Windows control panel application duplicates the selections of the front
panel of the USBPre hardware. The control panel also allows naming individual
USBPre's for identification. When two USBPre devices are connected to the
computer the control panel can select between the two units. To launch the
application follow Start>Applications>Sound Devices USBPre>USBPre.
When the Control Panel is active a system tray icon shows the status of the USBPre. The application will launch automatically when the USBPre hardware is connected to the computer, however, the control panel will be hidden. To open the control panel with connected hardware, double-click on the USBPre icon in the system tray. When USBPre is properly connected to the computer the icon illuminates green.

When the USBPre is disconnected from the computer, the system icon changes from green to red. The application is still open, however, there is no hardware to control.
