Here you can increase the number of Cluster Ring Buffers. We will continue this tutorial with 2 Ring Buffers to show the full flexibility of the Allegro. Please note that you need to restart the processing when you change the parameter. This can be done at '''Settings''' → '''Administration''' → '''Restart processing'''.
