Creating A Trigger Script - Omnia -3 Installation And Operation Manual

To set a new value for a Syspara:
syspara <syspara index #>[<sysparavalue index #>]
To reset all System parameters back to their factory defaults:
sysdefaults Restores the system attributes back to their factory defaults.
To save all System settings to the rear-panel memory card.
syssave Saves the system attributes to the Omnia PC Card.
To load the saved setting from the rear-panel memory card:
sysload Loads the system attributes from the currently inserted Omnia PC Card.

Creating a Trigger Script

Now that the scripting commands have been defined, let's put them to work to create a Trigger Script. We'll use
one of the most commonly requested operations that FM broadcasters want to easily accomplish: switching
between mono and stereo operation.
This procedure can of course be done by manually using the Omnia-3 front panel controls to turn off the 19 kHz
pilot tone and to switch the input from stereo to mono left. But a far easier method is to use the Trigger Script
Editor to create two scripts that can be loaded into the processor to run in response to a single relay contact
closure or open. The following scripts do just that—set the Omnia-3fm Turbo to automatically switch to mono
in response to a sustained contact closure and to then return to stereo operation when that same contact is
opened.
In scripts, all lines that begin with "syspara" must be followed by two numbers that identify the parameter ID
number that is being set and that ID number's new value. The value numbers and their settings for the Pilot
Level were also shown. To list the values and parameter settings for any parameter, type in sysparavalues
followed by a space and then the parameter's "syspara" number.
(The above "sysparas" table lists all of the available system parameter numbers.)
Trigger Script Example for Switching to Mono Operation
In this example, we'll configure Trigger Input # 1 to switch the Omnia-3fm Turbo into mono operation when the
contact closes and switch back to stereo when it opens again. To create this script, open up the Script Editor and
click radio button #1. Now click in the lower edit box to begin entering the Trigger 1 "Trigger Low" script.
Type:
syspara 54 1 <enter>
This command sets the processor to turn off the 19 kHz pilot tone when it is run. "syspara 54" says to edit the
Pilot Level. The "1" says select Off. Next, type in:
syspara 2 2 <enter>
This command sets the processor to switch the input to "mono left" when run. "syspara 2" says to edit the
Mono Mode setting. The "2" says select mono left.
When you are finished, the contents of the Trigger LOW Command Script box should look like:
syspara 54 1
syspara 2 2
