Setting New Syspara Values
To find the new value you wish to use for a particular Syspara:
sysparavalues <para index #> Lists all the possible values for any parameter.)
Example: sysparavalues 9 <enter> Displays a table listing the possible Pilot Level values.
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.
Using the Script Editor
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-6fm 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-6fm 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 “sysparas” table in the Appendix lists all of the available parameter numbers. )
