The Para, The Syspara, and Command Line Entries
What Is A "Para"?
In general*, a 'para' is a variable that corresponds to one of the adjustable controls available within a
Processing Block. For instance, the Wide Band AGC Release Time is a 'para', in fact, it happens to be 'para'
665.
What Is A "Syspara"?
In general*, a 'syspara' is a system parameter assigned to the basic operation of the "System". Controls such
as the one for audio source selection, the mono operating mode, and the stereo pilot state and its injection
level, each have a "syspara" value associated with it. A complete list of Omnia 6 'syspara' values can be
found in the Appendix.
* In the above explanation, we used the disclaimer "in general" because there are certain exceptions.
What About Command Line Entries?
Just as 'paras' and 'sysparas' can manipulate the processing controls and system adjustments, there are
higher level commands available which do even more special things. Later, we'll discuss how the command
line can be used to manipulate the Daypart Scheduler.
Using The Trigger Script Editor
A Trigger Script is "written" using the Trigger Interface Script Editor which is contained within the Omnia
Remote Control software. The Script Editor runs in a separate window from the Remote Control window.
The Editor window is opened under the Options menu (Edit Trigger Scripts). To open the Script Editor
window, the computer running the Remote Software must
be connected to and communicating with the
Omnia-6fm.
Starting the Script Editor (Options / Edit Trigger Scripts) opens up the Script Editor window. The eight
radio buttons along the left side select which trigger script number to display and edit. The top edit box
shows the script for the Trigger HIGH Command Script (contact open) for the selected input. The bottom
edit box shows the script for the Trigger LOW Command Script (contact closure) for that input.
Once a script has been entered, clicking the Test button checks the script syntax, and if correct, sends the
displayed script to the Omnia-6fm for immediate execution. Use the command line window and/or any
alert dialogs that pop up to view the success or failure of the script. Note that executing the script in this
manner does not result in the script being downloaded or saved as a trigger script, it is simply run once to
see if the script, as written, actually works.
The buttons along the bottom of the window load, save, or download the current scripts being edited to the
PC Card. Click “Save to Card” to permanently store the current scripts on the PC Card in one file. Click
“Load from Card” to retrieve previously saved scripts. To download the scripts for use in the processor
without saving to the PC Card, click “Apply” if further script editing will be done. Click “OK” to download
