Aegis Micro NRC 2.0.1 manual Universal Receiver Translation/Abstraction

Universal Receiver Translation/Abstraction

The NRC abstracts the user from each receiver’s proprietary low-level communications protocol by presenting a common receiver translation software tasking interface to the user. This common software interface allows the user to task the receivers at a logical level without the need to worry about how to implement this tasking. This allows a wide range of different receivers to be tasked via the NRC in the same manner regardless of the number, model or configuration of the receivers.

This receiver hardware abstraction allows the NRC:

∙To be easily programmed to connect to almost any receiver with an audio output.

∙To accommodate being connected to different receiver models simultaneously.

∙To control the major functions of any receiver through a simple tasking protocol.

∙To provide receiver vendor independence, allowing the user to utilize the most appropriate receiver for any given application.

Receiver XML configuration files are used to define the different receiver protocol profiles. This allows new receiver support to be added to the NRC relatively quickly and simply by generating and integrating a new receiver XML profile file.

A list of currently supported receivers can be found in the specifications section of this document, with additional receiver support able to be provided upon request.
