8.36. BUSREF -- Set Which AEC Reference is Placed on EF Bus
This command sets or queries whic AEC reference (if any) is placed on the EF Bus. Setting BUSREF to '0'
means that no reference is placed on the EF Bus. Setting BUSREF to '1' means that AEC reference 1 (R1) is
placed on the bus. Setting BUSREF to '2' means that AEC reference 2 (R2) is placed on the bus.
The AEC references are created in the main matrix via outputs R1 and R2.
Only one Vortex can put a reference on the EF Bus at a time. If more than one Vortex places its reference on
the EF Bus, then an 'ERROR#093' will occur.
This command is an integer command. See
Section 6.2 for more information on this type of command. The
minimum and maximum values for this command are 0 and 2, respectively.
This command is saved to non-volatile memory only as part of a preset. The state of this command will be
restored after power-up only if a preset is saved and that preset is set to be the power-on preset.
Example Description Status Message
B01BUSREF2
Put AEC Reference 2 (R2) on the EF Bus.
B01BUSREF2
B01BUSREF0
Set Vortex to not place any AEC reference
on the EF Bus.
B01BUSREF0
B01BUSREF?
Query which AEC reference this Vortex is
placing on the EF Bus.
B01BUSREFx , where x is 0, 1, or 2
depending on which AEC reference (if any) is
currently being placed on EF Bus.
8.37. CGATE -- Query Camera Gating Status Information
This command is used to query the gating status of the microphone inputs . It is identical to the GATE
command except that any given microphone must be gated on for a specified hold time in order for it to be
considered "on" by the CGATE command. The command can be used to query the status of individual
microphones, or the wildcard character can be used to query the status of all the microphone inputs. A
typical use for this command is to control camera pointing based on microphone activity. The added hold
time prevents the camera from jumping too quickly between positions when there are short amounts of
signal present.
The
CGATET specifies the hold time used for the gating decisions in this command. The CGATEEN can be
used to have gating information sent automatically instead of having to poll this command.
Example Description Status Message
B01CGATE3?
Query camera gating status of
microphone input 3 .
B01CGATE3x, , where x is 0 or 1 depending on
whether the input is gated off or gated on,
respectively.
B01CGATE*?
Query camera gating status of all
microphone inputs.
B01CGATE*abcd , where each letter (a, b, etc.) is
either 0 or 1 depending on whether the
corresponding microphone input is gated off or
gated on, respectively.
