case, you must use a standard, straight-through serial cable (not a null modem cable) between the RS-232 connector
and the serial port connector on the computer. Typically, a DB25 male to DB-9 or DB-25 female cable will be used,
with the DB-25 male end of the cable attached to the Omnia6-fm.
The setup and operation of the Omnia Remote Control application is covered in detail in Chapter 6.
Interface Connection (DE-9M)
Pin 1 Rear Panel Interface Connector for Remote Trigger Script Activation
This connector is the interface to the Omnia's internal trigger script function. Eight of the pins are “trigger” inputs and
the remaining pin is the ground reference. The trigger inputs can be used to dynamically alter the Omnia-6fm’s
operation in response to logic signal transitions at the interface connection. There is a unique response to each trigger
input, that is, both "go-high" and "go-low" transitions are sensed. With eight inputs, and two sensed states for each
one, sixteen unique 'trigger events' may be sensed to control the Omnia-6fm in response to these input logic
transitions. Virtually ANY parameter of the Omnia can be controlled using the Trigger Scripts.
The Trigger Script Interface Editor is a standard component of the Omnia-6 Remote Control application and is
covered in detail in Chapter 6.
The Pinout of the Omnia 6 rear-panel DE-9 Interface connector is as follows:
PIN 1 activates Trigger Script 1
PIN 2 activates Trigger Script 3
PIN 3 activates Trigger Script 8
PIN 4 activates Trigger Script 6
PIN 5 is connected to ground
PIN 6 activates Trigger Script 2
PIN 7 activates Trigger Script 4
PIN 8 activates Trigger Script 7
PIN 9 activates Trigger Script 5
