You are correct, Dave.  That is why it is best to start PowerSDR first and 
enable VAC before starting the digi mode program so that PowerSDR can establish 
the cable parameters (sampling rate and bit depth).

I believe the VAC sample rate is set by the  first  program to open the 
VAC.  If you fire up PowerSDR enable VAC  then start your digital 
program,  your VAC will be set to the PowerSDR VAC sample rate   -- 
learned the hard way...
