The General tab is where you name your Performance Profile and specify whether or not you want to use certain functions.
The Name field specifies the profile name. If you are adding or copying a Performance Profile, ADSP gives the profile the default name New_Performance_Profile. You should change the default name to one that is more appropriate to its function. Once you save your profile, you cannot change the name. The functions are:
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
|
