A simple question:
I just configured my D200 to utilize SAM for my speaker.
Configurator only sets up a text file and the file is like 21kb so very small.
Does Configurator tell the 200 to download the SAM for my speakers from the internet? That's my guess.
The file for SAM has to be waaaayyy larger than 21kb.

Have you actually installed the config file in your amp? The size of the file is what it is; mine is about 20 kb and that handles all the options i've selected. Just follow through with the config procedure and let the amp do its thing. 21 kb will do the job.
I've never heard any suggestion or information that the amp downloads anything from the internet.

I have installed the file in the 200.
I just assumed that a file that changes the speaker amplitude, time and phase correction would be much larger than 22kb!
Isn't the standard config file without SAM roughly the same size?
Maybe I am assuming wrong then?

Hope I wasn't overly blunt... The configuration file contains the parameters used by the DSP to implement the SAM correction. The DSP code itself may be larger than 22 KB but the parameters don't need to be. In fact I think you can see them in the SAM_CONFIG section of the configuration file.

I also believe that with no SAM configured the parameters are still in the config file but just set to 0 so that explains why a config file with or without SAM doesn't differ that much
