SYNRAD FH Series Flyer Operator’s Manual Version 3.4
Conguration
Keyword: SetDigitalInit
Operation: Continuous, strobed
Required: No
Format: “SetDigitalInit=arg1 arg2” where the arguments consist of decimal or hexadecimal
values.
Argument: Arg1 is a mask that denes the output bits to set or clear. Arg2 is the desired out-
put state.
Notes: The SetDigitalInit command signals the automation controller that Flyer’s next
action is to read le input bits and perform a le match. When an IntitalDelay is
specied, Flyer waits the InitialDelay value before reading input status.
Example: # specify outputs OUT7 and OUT6 as the mask. OUT7 = 128 and OUT6 = 64,
# so mask value is 192 decimal or 0xC0 hex.
# The desired output state is OUT7 = 1 and OUT6 = 0, so the output
# value is 128 decimal or 0x80 hex.
SetDigitalInit =0xC0 0x80
# remember that a space is a data delimiter!
# next step in Master Control File.
Keyword: InitialDelay
Operation: Continuous, strobed
Required: No
Format: “InitialDelay=arg1” where arg1 is a single integer value.
Argument: InitialDelay forces Flyer to wait the InitialDelay value (in milliseconds) before
reading the current state of the inputs. Delay values are expressed in milliseconds
(ms) and are limited to 10000 (10 seconds). InitialDelay values greater than
10000 are ignored and the actual delay is set to 10000 ms.
Notes: Use InitialDelay after a Strobe or SetDigitalInit command to force Flyer to wait
while inputs are switched to a valid le selection state. If an InitialDelay is not
used, then Flyer immediately performs an input read and le match operation.
Example: # enter a 15 millisecond delay while input status is recongured for a le match.
InitialDelay=15
# next step in Master Control File.
Keyword: FileMask
Operation: Continuous, strobed
Required: Yes
Format: “FileMask=arg1” where arg1 is a single decimal or hexadecimal value.
Argument: The FileMask indicates the range of valid inputs to use for le comparison and can
accommodate up to 16 bits.
