Trigger Modes (first letter in MODE.TXT)
(D) Direct Trigger (most popular)
In this mode each input directly triggers a corresponding
file: T1 =File 001, T2 = File 002, ... T8 = File 008.
A trigger is valid when the input is shorted to the ground
for at least 50 ms.
(B) Binary Trigger
To trigger a particular file, the first step is to signal the file
number on T1 (LSB) ~ T7 (MSB). and T8 being the data
latch.
(S) Sequential Trigger
Use the Sequential Trigger to sequentially trigger up to 99
different files per input, as defined below:
T1 triggers File 001 ~ 099……….
T8 triggers File 801 ~ 899
Each trigger on the same input activates a different file in
the sequence.
( R) Round-Robin Trigger
This mode is very similar to the Direct Trigger mode
except that the inputs are not prioritized - if multiple
inputs are tied to ground then their files will be played one
after another, instead of just the highest priority one.
Playback Modes (second letter in MODE.TXT)
The Playback Mode defines how the playback is to
proceed. The Playback Mode does not apply when the
system is controlled via the Serial Interface.
(N) Non-interruptible Playback
The file is played once per trigger. The playback is not
interruptible except by the system reset. Looping is
possible by applying a constant trigger on the input.
(I) Interruptible Playback
The file is played once per trigger if not interrupted (can
not interrupt itself unless in DIM mode). The playback
does not start until the trigger is removed (input returns to
+5V.
(H)
H
oldable Playback
The file is played for as long as the input is triggered,
looping if necessary. It is not interruptible except by the
system reset.
(S) Script Playback
These are the script commands:
Fnnn - play File #nnn
Wnnnnn - wait nnnnn units of 0.1 second
Jnnn - jump to trigger #nnn
BF - turn off the Busy output
BN - turn on the Busy output
XNn - turn on relay #n
XNN - turn on all relays
XFn - turn off relay #n
XFF - turn off all relays

player ID is not 00.
F### (play file ### )
L### (loop file ###)
S (Stop file)
P (Pause file)
R (Resume file)
B (busy enquiry), “b” is busy and “s” is not

XNN (turn on all relays)
XF# (turn off relay #)
XFF (turn off all relays)
