3.
Add appropriate cues to the playlist to set the sound processor at reference level (0.0dB or 7.0)
and take audio from the digital cinema server, turn on the projector lamp, open the dowser,
turn off the house lights, etc.
4.
Click the “Command Scripts” link at the top of the configuration page. A page similar to Figure
11 should appear. Lines starting with # are comments and are ignored. Blank lines separate
scripts. The first script is script 0. LST-Start-A is the red/green clip that starts script 0. LST-Start-B
starts script 1, etc. There’s a blank line at the end of script 0. The next line is the start of script 1.
Only insert one (not more) blank lines between scripts. There should be nothing on the blank
lines between scripts (not even space characters). Fields are delimited with the pipe character
(|). The various capture commands have these fields:
a)
The command (“lss100.sys.capture_spl”).
b)
A user defined description of what is being measured (“Left Low”).
c)
A minimum limit (“75”).
d)
A maximum limit (“85”).
5.
Use the appropriate sample script from the README.txt file or the default script window on the
LSS-100P Script Definition page.
6.
Run the test show (the red/green flashes should start the LSS script). When it is complete, verify
that data has been saved in the log. Print the log for reference in the next few steps.
7.
Based on the test run of the show, adjust the minimum and maximum values for each
measurement. The measured SPL values will vary as different bands and different speakers are
run. We suggest setting limits 3dB below and above the values measured on the test show.
Failures in the audio equipment will result in values outside this range. Note that the limits set
for luminance and chromaticity are based on SMPTE standards and should not require
adjustment. Note that the description portion of each line of the script is user definable.
Descriptions in other languages may be substituted, if desired. These descriptions will be used
in the LSS-100P internal log, graphing, and web services (LSS-DB) reporting. If there are no limits
on a measurement, leave the minimum and maximum out (end the line after the description).
Internally and in web services reporting, a log record with no limits has its minimum set to -9e9
and its maximum set to +9e9.
8.
If web services LSS-DB reporting is desired, put the URL of the server in the lss100.sys.log_post
line. For example, “lss100.sys.log_post|http://lssdb.uslinc.com/post.php” posts the log to the
USL LSS server. The URL can be either HTTP or HTTPS. A port number, username, and password
may be included in the post URL. For example,
http://user:[email protected]:1234/path/filename
. If posting to more than one server, include
a wait between log posts to ensure the first log post is complete before the second is
attempted. The LSS-100P can only post to one server at a time. A suggested wait command is
“lss100.sys.script_wait|120”. The LSS-100P logs a hash of the URL on a successful log post.
When another log post is executed, the LSS-100P searches back through the log for another log
post with the matching URL. Log records from that point on are posted to the server. Each
server receives all logs even if a post fails (they are picked up on the next post).
