GPS Operation
Program Description
The program is set up much like a spreadsheet, with horizontal rows that represent specific
tasks for the AM-4 to execute, and vertical columns that contain the various parameters
associated with the particular task. Clicking the small buttons to the right of each cell will
provide further help with that cell’s contents. The following explains each column in detail.
Command
The Command column contains the command to be executed at a particular Longitude and
Latitude (if specified). A pull-down menu of available commands is provided. Often, this
command is a Play command because you normally want to play a particular spiel or sound at
a specified location. Other commands such a Relay ON/OFF or Set Background commands
are available.
Set Background
Many times the first command in a Playlist will be a “Set Background” command which tells
the AM-4 what sound to play and loop while waiting for the next sound to be triggered. After
the triggered sound plays the background track picks up from where it left off. Two Data
parameters are used for the Set Background command. They are as follows:
Data1
: The sound number or sound file name used for the background track.
Data2
: (Optional) The amount of time (in seconds) that the background track will fade-in after
the previously triggered-sound has played. This time can be from 0 to 10 seconds.
If no background is specified the AM-4 will not play any file (it will be silent) between
triggered sound.
