STEP 14
Use the “Manual Transmitter Steering
Options” window to set the Manual Steering
mode countdown timer. This timer keeps
the Raven SNR Vote Group in Manual
Steering mode until all voted receiver audio
and all console audio has ceased. Once all
audio has ceased, the timer starts counting
down. If any port gets voted, or any console
audio occurs, the timer is reset, forcing the
vote group to stay in Manual Steering mode.
If all audio ceases, and the timer expires, the
vote group transitions back to Default mode.
The “Manual Transmitter Steering Options”
window is also used to set a function tone
(produced by a console) that forces the vote
group out of Manual Steering mode, and
back to Default mode.
STEP 13
The “Transmitter Options” window is used to set up manual
steering capabilities for this transmitter. To designate which
function tones enable or disable this transmitter, click the
check box next to the desired function tone. When a
console generates the chosen function tone, the Raven SNR
Vote Group will change to Manual Steering mode, and any
transmitter that has been configured to be enabled (or
disabled) by the chosen function tone will be enabled (or
disabled). Once the vote group transitions to Manual
Steering mode, a manual steering countdown timer starts
that keeps the vote group in Manual Steering mode for the
set time period. (This timer is set up in the next step).
The “Transmitter Options” window is also used to designate
whether or not this transmitter is activated by keying tones.
The vote group needs to know if keying tones are used so
that keying tones are generated when necessary (it’s
assumed that if console audio is active, the keying tones
were already generated by the console, and therefore don’t
need to be generated by the vote group).
Note: To lock a vote group into Manual Steering mode, set the
Manual Steering mode countdown timer to 0. Once the vote group
enters Manual Steering mode (via a function tone from the
console), the vote group will remain in Manual Steering mode until
the vote group is forced out of Manual Steering mode using the
function tone (from the console) that’s configured in the “Manual
Transmitter Steering Options” window above.
