X ? Y ? values values
Button control
Set slave map 24 X? * 3 Y? # SlaveMap Y? * X? X? is the actual input channel
(including inputs on a slaved
switcher) to select when button
Y? is pressed. The values for
these variables are shown at left.
Example: 6*34# SlaveMap4*6 Map input 6 (an input on a
slaved switcher) to the MLC’s
input button 4. When button 4
is pressed, the A/V system
switches to input 6, and any
instructions (DVD or VCR
control commands, for example)
associated with input button 4
on the MLC are executed.
Set and trigger a button press repeat X? * Y? *45 # RptRate* X? * Y? This command tells the MLC to
repeat a specific button’s
commands at a fixed interval (a
set frequency).
X? = the number of the button/
switch (1 - 128). See the
diagram on page 5-34.
Y? is the repeat interval: 0 to
65535, in 20 ms steps.
1 = 20 ms, 2 = 40 ms, 3 = 60 ms,...
65535 = 1,310,700 ms = 21.845
minutes.
If
Y? = 0, the MLC stops
repeating the selected button’s
commands.
Example: 9*850*45# RptRate*9*850 The commands associated with
the input 1 button are executed
every 850x20 ms (= 17,000 ms =
17 seconds) until the repeat rate
for that button is set to 0
(“cleared”).
The button repeat SIS command ( X? * Y? *45 #) must be entered each time you want to have a button press trigger
repeated command releases. Also, only one button at a time can be set to repeat: multiple buttons can not be in repeat
mode simultaneously.
The Repeat while held every... feature found in the configuration software (in the Button Config. tab) and Global
Configurator 2 is based on this command. However, through scripting the MLC sets the repeat mode on in response to
a specific button press, and it sets the repeat mode to 0 when the button is released or input is no longer selected.
Query button repeat rate status 45# X? * Y? See the variables for the
command shown above.
Clear (turn off) the button repeat 24 0*0*45# RptRate*000*00000 This command clears the button
repeat setting and turns off the
button repeat function.
