MESSAGE EDITOR, INSERT TONE GENERATOR CW COMMANDS
Messages include the station ID, courtesy tones and telemetry. This command is used to edit and store message data into the
system memory. The messages consist of tone generator or CW commands in sequence. Each of these commands consists of
a 3 digit value and are used to tell the RI-200’s tone generator what to do. These commands include setting the tone
frequency, CW code speed, CW character, beeps and pauses. The messages are stored in the same memory area as macros.
For this reason, it is important to manage and track the memory usage as not to damage other data stored in the memory.
Once a message is stored, it can be triggered for playback, this is done with message triggers (S-Command 32). Messages
can also be imbedded directly inside a macro.
There are two types of messages. Messages that stand by themselves and are triggered by events within the controller. These
messages are most common and include the ID and courtesy tones. The second type of message is one that is imbedded
within a macro. These are messages with S-Commands in the same memory segment and are used in special applications.
The system memory is used for both macros and messages. This memory is organized with 999 lines of data storage with
each line consisting of 8 digits. All messages and macros must start at the beginning of a line. Each line has a starting
number from 001 to 999. Message triggers, user commands and triggers use the start line address as the start location of the
message or macro. To edit a message you must first set a pointer to the start line where you want to start your message. This
is done with S-Command 63. Next you can start building your message. For the message to work correctly, you must include
a “Start of Message” command (31 001) as the first entry. The following entries are the message itself (31 XXX). The
message is completed with an “End of Message” command (31 002) and finally an end of data command (64) as the last
entry. For the purpose of tracking the amount of data stored in memory, the “Start of Message” consumes 2 digits “31”. The
“End of Message” command consumes 1 digit “C”. The end of data command consumes 1 digit “D”. All other message
commands consume 3 digits each.
When building a message that is contained within a macro, the messages must be short, a total of 32 digits or less. You use
the standard macro edit process with S-Command 64 and the message edit S-command 31 with message data. No start or
end of message commands are required. A 10 second beep would be entered as “64 31 026 134”
