GUI AND WEB REMOTE CONTROL
PDM
PDM Operator's Manual Version 2.4a • September 2019
n
If someone enters changes at PDM’s front panel while this GUI is open, the changes
won’t be automatically reflected on your networked computer. You have to Refresh
the page to see any the changes. To avoid confusion, don’t try to make configuration
changes on both the GUI and PDM’s front panel at the same time.
Identification
shows the hardware and software of this PDM. You can set a
PDM name
for
easy identification of this hardware. This name will also be used to create log file names and
PD-Alert e-mails.
n
If you have more than one PDM, make sure they have different names.
n
Names can be 19 characters, including numbers or upper/lower case letters, and
dashes – . Spaces and special characters (e.g.:
& % @)
may not be used.
Control
and
Hardware GPIO
let you view and change settings that are on the matching
menus of PDM’s front panel (as described starting on
page 29
). Since the GUI has drop-
down menu selections, you’ll probably find this faster than navigating through the front
panel.
Pulse length
lets you adjust the output pulse duration of contact closures between 100 and
1000 ms. This is useful when connecting to some older equipment requiring longer pulse
inputs. Factory Default is 250 ms.
Delayed Data Streams
lets you keep Program Associated Data and text or automation cues
in sync with the audio at all times. Two separate simultaneous streams are supported, and
there are flexible options for sources and outputs. They’re discussed fully on
page 61
.
Other I/O
lets you:
n
Enable bi-directional serial commands over network port 5443.
n
Configure the rear panel RS-232 port to serve as a bi-directional serial control. You
may also disable the port from this menu. If you are using the RS-232 port to delay
data, you must disable this selection.
n
Set parameters for an external slave clock output over RS-485. If you do, you can
choose to have the clock automatically compensate for PDM’s current delay, as well as
for delays in other equipment.
You can use the
Clock Offset
setting to add extra compensation for other delays in your air
chain, like those added by HD broadcasting. Use
¨
and
Î
to adjust that compensation in
one-tenth second increments. If you don’t want to compensate for other delays, leave it set
to
00.0
.
n
Set the baud rate for the rear panel RS-232 serial lines. Choose standard values
between 1200 and 115200 baud.
PDM’s serial command language and data delay capability is described fully on
page 55
.
