Control file syntax information.
All commands must start with “
/
”
All commands must end with “
;
”
The last command must be followed by “
)
“ on the next line.
There must be an “
=
” sign after the command and before the data.
There must not be any spaces within the command string.
All commands are lower case.
You may type remarks after the semicolon “
;
” but the remarks must not
contain any control characters such as
/
or
)
or
;
or
=
.
Detailed explanation of each control command.
osbe
One shot bit enable
This command allows each of the eight individual trip inputs to be set up
with one shot functions. This means that if a trip is one shot enabled,
and that trip line is held active beyond the end of a file, the selected file
will not run again. The trip line must be released before it can operate
again. If the trip line is not one shot enabled, the selected file will loop if
the trip is held on at the end of the file.
To select one shot mode, enter a “
1
” corresponding to the trip number
otherwise enter a “
0
”.
Trips 8………..1
/osbe=00000000;
For example, if trips
1,3,7,8
are one shot enabled the command would
be:
/osbe=11000101;
ncbe
Normally closed bit enable
This command allows each of the eight individual trip inputs to be set up
to operate with normally closed contacts such as a PIR.
To enable a normally closed contact trip, enter a “
1
” corresponding to the
trip number otherwise enter a “
0
”.
Normally closed bit enable
0
=Normally Open,
1
=Normally Closed
Trips 8………..1
/ncbe=00000000;
For example, if trip
1 & 2
are to be on normally closed
contacts the command would be:
/ncbe=00000011;
cont
Continue after interrupt
This command will allow an interrupted cmd.txt or mp3 file to resume
from the point it was stopped after the interrupting file has finished. For
example, a long background music file could be playing and then a voice
instruction needs to be played. After the voice mp3 file has finished, the
background track would fade back in at the point it was interrupted. This
command will only work if either “
mint
” or “
pint
” is set.
Note. It is possible for a third file to interrupt the second file, in this case,
the first file will always be the one that resumes. However if the third or
subsequent file number is the same as the first file, the first file will fade
back in and continue.
/cont=0;
The interrupted file will not continue after interruption.
/cont=1;
The interrupted file will continue.
