Initiating Trigger Scripts via the Interface Connector
As we mentioned, trigger scripts give the user the ability to tie a series of commands to a simple high/low logic
change occurring on a pin of the 9-pin D-sub Interface connector on the unit’s rear panel. The pins on the Interface
connector are assigned as follows:
PIN 1 - activates Trigger Script 1
PIN 2 - activates Trigger Script 3
PIN 3 - activates Trigger Script 8
PIN 4 - activates Trigger Script 6
PIN 5 - is connected to ground
PIN 6 - activates Trigger Script 2
PIN 7 - activates Trigger Script 4
PIN 8 - activates Trigger Script 7
PIN 9 - activates Trigger Script 5
Each pin that is to be used must first be programmed with a trigger script for the desired Go High and Go Low logic.
To execute the Go Low script, a trigger input pin is connected via a sustained contact closure to pin 5 (ground). To
execute a Go High script, the ground is removed from that pin. Each of the trigger pins (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9) is thus
connected through a switch or relay to the Omnia-6’s ground on Pin 5.
Let's review what we created for the example we showed you under “Using the Script Editor”. Whenever pin 1 is
held low (the contact or switch is in a closed state), the Omnia-6EX will switch to and stay in mono mode (no Pilot
and only the left input channel is used). When the pin 1 contact is subsequently opened, the Omnia-6EX will switch
back to and stay in stereo operation (pilot on and both left and right input channels being used) as long as the contact
is open.
“One Way Script” Functions
You may also create scripting functions that do NOT return to another value when the remote contacts are opened.
To do this, you use the Go LOW script only, and do not put any entries into the Go HIGH script.
Two possible uses for this very useful “Go LOW Only” Trigger Script trick are periodically setting the Omnia's
system time to an external standard, and remote re-booting of the Omnia.
To use the Omnia's command line “Time” function to reset the Omnia's System Clock to midnight based on an
external contact closure (such as from an automation system or other time reference), the Trigger Script script
syntax would be:
Time 00 00 00 Sets the Omnia time to midnight. Note that colons are not used as delimiters in this entry!
Although time is displayed by the front panel display and its controller, it is actually being kept by the Omnia
motherboard. When resetting the System Time using trigger scripts, the change takes effect immediately at the
motherboard. Because the front panel 'fetches' time synchronization from the motherboard every few seconds, the
front panel's confirmation of the time change may lag by a few seconds but the two will agree with each other when
updating takes place.
