DM84 Output Limiter Commands

Command Description
outlmgn Output limiter gain
outlmtc Output limiter time constant
outlmthr Output limiter threshold level
Termination: all commands are terminated with an
ASCII carriage return character ( hex code 0x0D),
represented by <CR> in the examples below. All
responses are terminated with an ASCII carriage
return, line feed pair (hex codes 0x0D, 0x0A), repre-
sented by <CRLF> in the examples below. An ellipsis
(...) represents members of an array that have been
omitted from an example for the sake of brevity.
Verbose response: commands prefixed with an excla-
mation point (bang) character result in a "verbose"
response containing the name of the property or action
being addressed, along with the current values of the
property in question. Property values are always
returned in the "assignment" form, for example
outmt(2)=1. This supports certain 3rd party control
programming styles where the response to all re-
sponses needs to be self-describing and/or contain
current property values.
Examples:
REQUEST
COMMAND !store(3)<CR>
COMMAND !run={1,3,5}<CR>
QUERY
!outgn(3)?<CR>
QUERY
!outmt(*)?<CR>
UPDATE
!ingn(3)=0<CR>
UPDATE
!outmt(*)=
{0,1,1,0}<CR>

outlmgn (output limiter gain)

This command may be used as a query to read the
limiter gain. The output channel is specified by using the
address syntax. Addresses must be in the range 1 to 4.
The data type is integer, representing the gain in dB,
which is always a negative value if the limiter is active,
or zero.
Example:
REQUEST
QUERY
outlmgn(1)?<CR>
58
RESPONSE
OK store(3)<CRLF>
OK run={1,3,5}<CRLF>
OK outgn(3)=0<CRLF>
OK outmt(*)=
{0,1,1,0}<CRLF>
OK ingn(3)=0<CRLF>
OK outmt(*)=
{0,1,1,0}<CRLF>
RESPONSE
OK -11<CRLF>

outlmtc (output limiter time constant)

This command may be used as a query to read the time
constant, or as an update to set the time constant. The
output channel is specified by using the address syntax.
Addresses must be in the range 1 to 4. The data type is
integer, in the range 1 to 5000, representing the time in
one tenth millisecond increments.
Examples:
REQUEST
QUERY
outlmtc(1)?<CR>
UPDATE
outlmtc(2)=
1000<CR>

outlmthr (output limiter threshold level)

This command may be used as a query to read the
threshold, or as an update to set the threshold. The
output channel is specified by using the address syntax.
Addresses must be in the range 1 to 4. The data type is
integer, in the range -50 to +20, representing the level
in dBu.
Examples:
REQUEST
QUERY
outlmthr(1)?
<CR>
UPDATE
outlmthr(5)=15
<CR>
RESPONSE
OK 200<CRLF>
OK<CRLF
RESPONSE
OK 10<CRLF>
OK<CRLF
