    • File – Load and Save data files. Click here to learn more about DPS Profiles
      • Save BGVA Profile – Save a .bgva profile for fixed point platforms. This file contains integer and float coefficients for 44.1kHz sample rate. Currently used for Realtek platforms.
      • Save BGVX Profile – Save a bgvx profile in the new, parameters-only, format.  This format may be imported into the DPS Profile Creator work space.
      • Save BSWT Profile – Save a legacy stereo enhancement .bswt profile for fixed point platforms.  This contains integer and float coefficients for 44.1kHz sample rate. Currently used for Realtek platforms.
        • Export
          • ARM indices – Save an indices.c file for including in an ARM SDK project.  Presets saved in the A B C D slots on the Parameter are represented as profiles 1-4 in the exported file. Profile 5 is a flat “Bypass” profile.
          • Nuvoton indices – Save an indices.c file for importing into the Nuvoton Bridge Config. Setting feature.  The indices.c file contains up to 14 separate profiles. Presets saved in the A B C D slots on the Parameter are represented as profiles 0-3 in the exported file. 10 addional presets are managed using the Nuvoton Bridge Preset Manager.
          • MStar – Export a folder of parameter data for DPS on MStar TV system chips.
          • Sunplus 2.0, 2.1 – Export a data file for Sunplus stereo platforms. 
          • Sunplus 4.1 – Export a data file for use in Sunplus 4.1 channel platforms.
          • Sunplus CEVA – Export a data file for use in Sunplus CEVA 6 channel platforms.
          • TI APPE – Export a ialg.c file for use in Texas Instruments APPE 4-6 channel platforms.

    • Settings – Change settings for the GUI and Algorithm.
      • Meters Enabled – Turn the real time meters on or off.  Turning off meters will save CPU usage on the host Windows computer.
      • Meter Smoothing – Makes the response of the meters slower for easier measurement and calibration.
      • DPS Bypassed – This removed the DPS algorithm from the signal path for true bypass.  Currently, applies to Local and TI APPE platforms.
      • 3.5dB Pad Bypassed – Removed the built-in headroom attenuation.  Currently, applies to Local tuning only.
      • Skin – Change the GUI theme located in Program Files/Bongiovi Acoustics/DPS Profile Creator/Skins
