DAB1 DISTRIBUTED AUDIO SYSTEM
After setting the number of repeats, drag the Repeat
Steps icon into the MACRO Window. Then drag the
command to be repeated into the bracket connected
to the Repeat command (see
Figure 65
, on page 44).
Toggle IR Code
The TOGGLE IR CODE command (see
Figure 66
) causes
a button to alternate between two different IR
commands each time the button is pressed. This is
useful for creating a button that will toggle between
two different commands such as combining separate
PLAY and PAUSE commands into a single button.
After dragging the TOGGLE IR CODE icon into the
MACRO Window, drag the two IR commands you want
the button to toggle between into the bracket connect-
ed to the TOGGLE IR CODE command (see
Figure 67
).
Modifying IR Commands In Macros
After a macro has been completed, IR commands can be modified from within the
macro, allowing you to “fine-tune” the command’s IR characteristics (and the
macro’s performance) without having to rebuild the macro from scratch.
Double-click on the macro command you want to modify. The EDIT IR COMMAND
window (see
Figure 68
) will appear, allowing you to change the number of times
the command is repeated on each button press, the command’s IR frequency and
the PROGRAMMED IR port that outputs the command.
Controlling the DAB1 via RS-232
(Inbound Serial Control)
In addition to issuing RS-232 commands in macros to control other audio/video components, the DAB1’s audio functions
can also be controlled via RS-232 commands issued by an RS-232 capable control device (serial control).
Note: The DAB1 is capable of one-directional serial operation (either
INBOUND
OR
OUTBOUND
) ONLY.
Placing a single RS-232 command in any macro will automatically configure the DAB1 as an
OUTBOUND
serial control unit that will not respond to RS-232 commands from a serial control device.
To allow the DAB1 to be controlled by a serial-control device you must remove all RS-232
commands from all macros. See Finding RS-232 Commands In Macros, on page 53, for more information.
