CGATE
-- Query Camera Gating Status Information
This command is used to query the gating status of the microphone input. It is identical to the
GATE
command except that any given microphone must be gated on for a specified hold time in order for it
to be considered "on" by the
CGATE
command. A typical use for this command is to control camera
pointing based on microphone activity. The added hold time prevents the camera from jumping too
quickly between positions when there are short amounts of signal present.
The
CGATET
specifies the hold time used for the gating decisions in this command. The
CGATEEN
can
be used to have gating information sent automatically instead of having to poll this command.

CGATEEN
-- Enable Automatic Camera Gating
Messages
This command controls whether or not camera gating information messages are sent automatically. If
CGATEEN
is enabled, then a
CGATE*?
query is performed each time the camera gating status of any
microphone changes.
For example, if the microphone is currently gated off and
CGATEEN
is enabled, then if the microphone
gates on, the following status message will be automatically generated:
Q01CGATE*1
See the
CGATE
command for more information.
This command is a boolean command. See
Section 6.1
