VComm Radio Input Status

ID:  2092

Object Description

The VComm Radio Input Status object can be used in conjunction with VComm Radio Objects. It is a VComm monitoring object which accepts a radio handle and provides outputs that reflect the radio's inputs.

To use the object, simply connect the radio handle output of a radio/intercom object to the radio handle input of this object. The data that is present on the input pins is applied to the radio object to which it is attached.

Notes:

1. The output pins will not necessarily be exact reflections of the inputs to the monitored radio. Instead, they reflect the actual values used in the radio model. For example, if a radio's volume is set to 2, the output volume provided by this object will be 1 because volume ranges from 0 to 1.

2. If an invalid radio handle is provided as input to this object, then all outputs are set to -1.

Input Pins

HNDL

This input pin determines which radio is monitored by this object. This pin may be connected to the radio handle output pin of the radio object to be monitored or to an input port, constant, or other source of data that represents a radio handle.

Output Pins

X

This pin is the current X component of the radio's antenna position.

Y

This pin is the current Y component of the radio's antenna position.

Z

This pin is the current Z component of the radio's antenna position.

FREQ Hz

This pin is the radio's frequency setting in Hz.

VOL

This pin is the radio's volume setting.  It ranges from 0 to 1.

SQLCH

This pin is the radio's squelch control where 0 = squelch off and 1 = squelch on.

EX ID

This pin is the radio's exercise id.

ON/OFF

This pin is the radio's on/off state where 0 = radio off and 1 = radio on.

PTT

This pin is the state of the radio's push to talk input where 0 = PTT not engaged and 1 = PTT engaged.

Example

In this example, a VComm GENERIC Radio is connected to a VComm Radio Input Status object. Note that the volume for the radio is set to 2, yet the monitor displays a value of 1.
