INSTALLATION ORBAN MODEL 8600
•
This command is useful in interfacing automation systems to the 8600.
11. To turn the analog diversity delay on or off for a given output:
Command Response
DE XXX[PASSCODE]
(valid passcode and argument)
DIVERSITY DELAY: [ON,OFF] (for each
output)
(invalid passcode)
[no error message is issued]
In the above table:
XXX = ANALOG_ON, ANALOG_OFF, DIGITAL1_ON,
DIGITAL1_OFF, DIGITAL2_ON, DIGITAL2_OFF,
COMPOSITE_ON, COMPOSITE_OFF,
or
?
?
returns the current on/off status for each output that is
configured to emit the analog FM processed audio
PASSCODE = ANY VALID PASSCODE
.
•
If a non-existent control value and/or an invalid passcode is entered, the 8600
will ignore the command.
•
You can apply this command anytime after the 8600 boots up. The 30-minute
timeout does not apply.
12. To set the analog diversity delay:
Command Response
TR X.XXXXXXXXX[PASSCODE]
(valid passcode and argument)
DELAY: X.XXXXXXXXX
(invalid passcode)
[no error message is issued]
In the above table:
X.XXXXXXXXX
= the delay time or ?. Acceptable values are
0.000015625 to 8.192 for the 8-second board and 0.000015625
to 16.384 for the 16-second board
(10 total digits) in increments of 0.000015625
?
returns the current delay time.
PASSCODE = ANY VALID PASSCODE
.
•
This command is useful when a station has two transmission chains (typically
main and backup) that require different diversity delay settings. We recommend
first using 8600 PC Remote to set the correct delays for the main and backup
chains. When you have found the correct delay for each transmission chain, write
down the delay times that PC Remote displays. Then program these into “main”
and “standby” batch files that, when executed, send the appropriate TR com-
mand to the 8600 when the on-air transmission chain is swapped.
