Re: Auto Increment part of a Serial String in the Parameter field in SIMPL Windows? #crestron #s

@Caleb and @atgordon78

Those 2 ways would work!, thanks a lot guys.

Really appreciate it.

Re: Auto Increment part of a Serial String in the Parameter field in SIMPL Windows? #crestron #s

I’d start with expanding the symbol using (ALT SHIFT +) and then expand by 99. Then insert your string *#1*11*#1*101 in the first parameter, highlight the 99 emptys below, F4, select all the strings, then ALT 6 the suffix *1## in.

Subject: [crestron] Auto Increment part of a Serial String in the Parameter field in SIMPL Windows? #crestron #s

?

I need to increment this serial string from:

*#1*11*#1*101*1##

to:

*#1*11*#1*200*1##

I know how to auto increment the first and last numbers of a signal/parameter, but I've never had to do this for a part of an entire serial string. Is there a way to do this in SIMPL Windows?

Thanks.

Hi All:

Do anybody have the RS232 protocol for Sony UBP-X1000? I'm trying to find ir but it was impossible....

Or maybe somebody have already written a module, that woyld be great! ;)

Thanks guys.

Re: AVIA vs Symetrix

#235577

For me, the direct GUI import (and the corresponding lack of control) is perhaps the biggest reason in the “not” column for Avia – though I’ve also not heard any audio people I trust praising it’s performance – the lack of control you have over Avia’s appearance and behavior using the GUI exports is massively problematic in my opinion and experience.

?

(As just two points: The DSP programmer can’t implement min/max limits; the GUI designer becomes critically dependent on the DSP programmer when typically GUI designs are being built, submitted, and signed off on long before – as many as 6 months before – a DSP programmer even knows the project exists let alone is building a DSP configuration). If it could be implemented/controlled similar to its peers I don’t think the closed architecture is necessarily fatal.

I have standardized my designs/programming around Symetrix. Very easy to design a site file and control with either serial or IP - I chose IP 100% of the time with no issues. Also, depending on which model of Symetrix you use, most of them are open architecture whereas the Crestron Avia DSP is closed architecture?(I have used Biamp - Clearone - Polycom Vortex in the past).

I have colleagues that are audio gurus - when asked, their recommendation to me was, stay away from Avia. The direct import for GUI is just not enough for me to use a newcomer DSP.

Re: AVIA vs Symetrix

My company almost always goes with either symetrix or qsys, there's modules out there it's very integrator friendly I've ran into next to no issues with symetrix.?

Re: AVIA vs Symetrix

#235569

I have used both and prefer Symetrix although using an AVIA is pretty great if you’re looking to finish a coding job quickly (the exporting of touch panel graphics and control blocks was huge for me).

Overall, I think Symetrix is a better DSP and the modules on the application market work great. If you do decide to go with Symetrix, I think the serial modules work much more reliably than the ip command processor.?

best of luck!

Re: AVIA vs Symetrix

Symetrix is very friendly integration except for the dialer (POTS/VOIP) portions, IMO and there should be a suite of modules floating around; if not virtually every command is CS [control id]=[value]\x0D\x0A where [control ID] is assigned in the DSP configuration and is 1-65535 and value is 0-65535.

?

I would take Symetrix in a heartbeat.

If it has been running fine for 3 years, and this problem started recently, then I'd be willing to bet that you forwarded ports to the processor, and it is being attacked by bots.? We used to be able to get away with forwarding unsecure ports for external access but they have all been compromised over the last year or so.
