To allow a larger number of PowerMatch PM8500N amplifiers to be monitored simultaneously a new
‘Status Panel’ is available. The panels are available whilst online and can be tiled, or displayed in a
minimized view to make best use of available screen space.

3. PM8500/N USB connection lock
Unauthorized users can now be restricted from connecting to the PM8500/N via USB through an
extension of the front panel lock. When the front panel lock is active the code will be required in order to
establish a connection to the amplifier via USB. For networked systems the existing password security is
unchanged.
4. Expanded serial protocol for PM8500N
A number of device specific serial commands have been added for the PM8500N including:
• External query or unsolicited notification of alarm and fault conditions
• Clearing alarm conditions
• Query of output configuration
• Query of input and output levels
Full details are available in the updated Serial Protocol Document (v3.1).
5. CC-16/CC-64 user interface improvements
A number of improvements have been made to the behavior of CC-16 and CC-64 user interfaces
including the addition of a new ‘Off at Minimum’ property that gives users the option of whether the
volume level should cease decrementing once the programmed minimum level is reached or should turn
‘Off’ (go to –inf) with the next push.
6. Updated Bose Bulk USB driver (also released in 3v060 Beta)
The updated driver supports both x86 and 64-bit processors running the Windows XP and Windows 7
operating systems. The files required for the new Bose Bulk USB driver are installed as part of application
installation and then the driver is installed automatically the first time a PM8500/N is connected to the PC
via USB.
Note: An internet connection maybe required when installing the driver on Windows XP and is preferable
for Windows 7 so the driver signing can be verified by the Windows operating system.
Windows 7:
When a PM8500/N is connected for the first time the driver will be installed automatically and you will
receive a pop-up notification when it is complete.
Windows XP:
When a PM8500/N is connected for the first time the ‘Found New Hardware Wizard’ will be launched. On
the first page you should opt not to check Windows for an update, on the second page you should opt to
‘Install the software automatically (Recommended)’ and then ‘Finish’ once the installation has completed.
Changes/Bug fixes
1. Incompatibilities caused by changes to the file-compression options available under Windows 7 have
been reduced. Windows XP and Windows 7 can now be used interchangeably on new projects and
Windows 7 32-bit PCs are able to retrieve designs from older installations directly. The only remaining
incompatibility is between Windows 7 64-bit PCs and older installations/designs uploaded using XP. For
these situations the ‘Save Retrieved Design to File’ option on the ‘System’ menu can be used.
2. Support for ESP timer events has been added to the PM8500N allowing changes to made via a
parameter set in response to a timed event from the ESP. Adding PM modules directly to ESP timers is
not recommended at this time. (#5271)
3. An issue whereby pressing Scan with a PM8500/N in the design caused the PM8500 input labels to be
lost or reset has been fixed. (#6511)
4. Use of CC-16s and GPI (connected via an ESP) to control the output attenuation of PM8500Ns is now
supported and works as expected. (#5443)
