Output Control files
An output control file can be written to drive the four Control output Mosfets, CTL out 1-4.
These outputs can drive relays, solenoids, LED’s or other similar loads.
Each output can be programmed with multiple ON and OFF periods with a precision of
10mS up to 1 second per step.
Each channel can have up to 500 program steps.
•
An output control file must be associated with an audio file but the audio file can
be shorter or longer than the duration of the output control file.
•
The output control file will be loaded and started at the same time that the
corresponding audio file is played.
•
A running output control file will be cancelled by another valid trip being received.
•
The STOP pin will cancel an output control file.
•
For looping a control file, ensure that the control file is close to the audio file
length as the output control file will loop at the loop point of the audio file, not the
control file.
•
If Channel 1 is not defined in the Output control file or the whole file is
non-existent then CTL out 1 will behave as a RUN line, it will be active while a
audio file is playing.
The output control file will be named as follows.
Q001 file name.txt
Q – denotes a control file
001 – assigns the trip number that activates it
File name - can be any text you wish (valid chrs only)
.txt – The file extension for a text file
