Command files
If required a command text file can be written and assigned to any trip
input to provide access and control over any or all .mp3 sound files pre-
sent in the DATA directory. Command files enable you to use features
such as message selection / playback, delay timers, message sequenc-
ers, trip conditioning, random message selection etc. An example com-
mand file name assigned to trip input 1 would be 001name.txt. When
tripped, command files take priority over any .mp3 sound file with the
same message number.
eg. 001name.txt would have priority over 001name.mp3 however mes-
sage 001name.mp3 could still be played from within the command file.
Command file naming xxxname.txt
NOTE: You cannot use command files if running multiple DMS3000’s in
sync with each other.
The first 3 digits of the file name relate to the trip input required to exe-
cute the file 001 to 255. Next (if required) a specific name can be used
for your identification purposes. The last 4 digits must always be .txt
Example:
A valid command file name for trip input 1 would be “001 test command
file.txt “ as could “001.txt “
The following commands can be used in a command.txt file placed in
the DATA subdirectory of a MMC card
.

Command file syntax information.
All commands must start with “/”
All commands must end with “;”
The last command must be followed by “) “ on the next line.
There must be an “=” sign after the command and before the data.
There must not be any spaces within the command string.
All commands are lower case.
You may type remarks after the semicolon “;” but the remarks must not
contain any control characters such as / or ) or ; or =.
Example:
/play=123; you may write anything after semicolon
/play=1;
) end of file marker
Explanation of commands.
play Play selected .mp3 file
Select and play the mp3 file indicated. Allowable range is 1 to 255. If the
mp3 file does not exist, the next command will run.
/play=2; plays sound file 002?name.mp3
NOTE:
If an mp3 is started and then the same mp3 is selected again whilst still
running, the playing mp3 will not be interrupted however loop mode
‘loop’ will be cancelled if active. Any mp3 file called from within a com-
mand file will be cancelled if the command file ends before the MP3. A
wait command such as ‘wtan’ or ‘wtor’ must be used to make the com-
mand file wait for the end of the mp3 file.
stop Stop playing any .mp3 file
Will stop a currently playing message. Data byte should be 1.
/stop=1; Stop any playing mp3
/stop=2; Cancel a ‘cont’ held cmd file
/stop=3; Cancel a ‘hold’ held cmd file
volm Volume control
This command allows you to change the preset volume level within a
command file.
Formula for arriving at value for data byte.
value = 255 - (4 x ?dB)
Examples:
/volm=255; 0dB
/volm=231; -6dB
/volm=95; -40dB
/volm=1; -63dB
/volm=0; Front panel control operational.
dltm Delay timer value
This command provides a delay timer. Delays can be from 1 to 99 min-
utes or seconds depending on the range selected by the ‘dlrg’
command (see below).
Every time this command is run, the delay timer will be set to the value
declared by the data bytes (1 to 99).
/dltm=45; Delay timer set to 45
dlrg Delay timer range and control
x = timer displayed 0=display off 1=display on
y = single shot timer 0=single shot 1=continuous
z = timer range 0=seconds 1=minutes
Command format :
/dlrg=xyz; Valid values for x,y,z can be 0 or 1
Examples.
A continuous running 4 minute timer with count displayed.
/dlrg=111; where x=1 / y=1 / z=1
/dltm=4; delay timer value
A single shot timer of 20 minute without display.
/dlrg=001; where x=0 / y=0 / z=1
/dltm=20; delay timer value
A continuous timer 0f 30 second with display ON.
/dlrg=110; where x=1 / y=1 / z=0
/dltm=30; delay timer value
