S-Cmd 39 CONTROLLER UNIT ADDRESS
This command is used to assign a unique unit address to each RI-1 connected on the Auxiliary buss. When connecting multiple
controllers together, you must assign each controller a unique unit address. Controllers on the buss can talk to each other using
the serial data protocol if each controller has its own unit address. This unit address also defines the audio channel on which
the controller will output audio on the auxiliary buss. Valid unit addresses are 1 through 9 with the default being 1. A
controller at address 9 is different in that it can send and receive commands on the buss, but will not use an audio channel. A
controller with a macro containing a unit address with an S-Command will process the S-Command in the addressed controller.
The unit address and S-Command is sent to the auxiliary port. This address will be checked against the addresses of all the
controllers connected to the auxiliary buss. A controller with a matching address will execute the S-Command. These
externally executable S-Commands start with an “A” prefix and the destination unit address, e.g.: “A2”. The S-Command
following the A2 will be executed by a controller with the unit address of “2”.
SYNTAX:
39 [Address]
STORAGE: EEPROM
PARAMETERS: Address 1-9 = Unit (controller) address on the auxiliary buss
DEFAULT:
1
EXAMPLE: 39 3 Sets controller unit address to 3.
S-Cmd 40 DELAY TIMER EVENT
With this command, you can delay the execution of a macro to some time in the future. There are 2 timers available. When the
selected timer expires, the macro located at the specified address in the “Start Line” field will be executed. An application
example could be to turn on the CTCSS repeater tone panel after a preset time has expired. Note: This function automatically
suppress the “OK” (function complete) without any additional instructions included in the macro. You can use S-Command 06
re-enable the function message. This command is a one time only. Once you set up a timer and the timer expires, the timer is
reset and ready to be setup again. A default can be stored in non-volatile memory (EEPROM) to produce a power on reset
macro.
SYNTAX: 40 [Timer] [Start Line] [Time]
STORAGE: RAM (Return to default at power on reset)
PARAMETERS: Timer 1–2 = Timer number
Start Line 000 = Disable this function, 001–255 Macro data start line
Time 0 = Reset timer, 1–255 1/10 second increments (25.5 seconds maximum)
DEFAULT: All timers, Start Line = 000, Time = 0
EXAMPLE: 40 1 000 0 Clear timer 1, no macro will execute.
40 2 060 120 Timer 2 will execute macro at start line 60 in 12.0 seconds.
S-Cmd 41 RECEIVER INACTIVITY TIMER EVENT
The receiver inactivity timer can be used to set an item within the system when the repeater receiver becomes inactive for the
preset time. There are 2 timers available. Once this timer is started, it is restarted after each occurrence of receiver activity.
When a time-out occurs, the macro pointed to by the “Start Line” field will execute. An application example: A controller in
COS mode can use this function to turn on the CTCSS tone decode after there has been no activity on the repeater for the set
time. Note: This function automatically suppress the “OK” (function complete) without any additional instructions included in
the macro. You can use S-Command 06 re-enable the function message. This command is a one time only. Once you set up a
timer and the timer expires, the timer is reset and ready to be setup again. A default can be stored in non-volatile memory
(EEPROM) to produce a power on reset macro.
SYNTAX: 41 [Timer] [Start Line] [Time]
STORAGE: RAM (Return to default at power on reset)
PARAMETERS: Timer 1–2 = Timer number
Start Line 000 = Disable this function, 001 – 255 Macro data start line.
Time 0 = Reset timer, 1–255 in 6 second increments (1 to 25.5 minutes).
DEFAULT: All timers, Start Line = 000, Time = 0.
EXAMPLE: 41 1 000 0 Clear timer 1, no macro will execute.
41 2 022 55 Timer 2 will execute macro at start line 22 after 5.5 minutes.
