The 3040P/DLO ASRUN Tool
Overview:
The 3040P/DLO ASRUN Tool is used to upload a text file (CSV format) to a PC
(computer). Once the file has been uploaded to the PC the information is no longer
available from the 3040P/DLO. The file contains information about the clips that have
played-out from the server that is connected to the 3040P/DLO. The system is set to
upload a list from each channel, therefore there are four “Asrun” files. There is no action
required on the 3040P/DLO to initiate the “Asrun” upload.
Refer to the connection diagram to connect the 3040P/DLO to the PC.
Asrun File format:
Element number, Trigger type, Clip ID, Title, SOM (Time Code), scheduled time (Time of
day), Actual time, Scheduled duration, Actual Duration, Status.
Status:
1. 'G' = GOOD; Element PLAYED OUT properly, received play status from
server.
2. 'S' = SHORT; Playout duration of the element was SHORT.
3. 'A' = ABORTED; Playout for this element was stopped by user.
4. ‘F' = FAIL; Element DID NOT PLAY OUT or did not get play status
from server.
