forms: a hard time, which is simply an absolute time (in twenty-four hour 'military'
format), a length (in HH:MM format, relative to an earlier start time), or a GPI start. The
GPI parameters can be somewhat involved. They are specified in the following format:
Gpi: <start-time>,<end-time>,<gpi-num>,<wait-time>
Where:
<start-time> The time, in HH:MM:SS format, when RDCatch will start looking for a GPI
event (also sometimes referred to as the window start time).
<end-time> The time, in HH:MM:SS format, when RDCatch will stop looking for a GPI
event (also sometime referred to as the window end time).
<gpi-num> The number of the GPI event to wait for, in the format MATRIX:LINE. We will
deal with GPI matrix and line numbers in detail when we cover RDAdmin.
<wait-time> The amount of time to wait, in MM:SS format, between the reception of the GPI
event and the actual start of the event (used only for Start parameters).
For example, the start parameter 'Gpi: 14:00:00,14:05:59,0:1,01:00' has a window start
time of 14:00:00 [2:00:00 PM], a window end time of 14:05:59, looks for a GPI event on
line 0:1 and will wait one minute [01:00] after receiving the GPI before starting the event.
Next come the source and destination fields. The uses of these will vary depending
upon what type of event is being listed, but should normally be fairly self-evident. For
example, for a record event, the source field indicates the audio source from which the
recording is to be made, while the destination indicates the cat/cut combo to which the
recording should be made. Some events may leave one or the other of these fields blank.
Now come the day of the week fields. These indicate on which days of the week the
listed event should be executed, followed by the origin field, which is simply a readout of
the Origin data of the events underlying cut. There are a number of other fields which
follow, but these are less important for understanding the operation of RDCatch.
4.1.3 The Button Area
At the bottom of the main window are various buttons. On the left-hand side, the Add,
Edit and Delete buttons are used to manage events in the event list. Clicking the Scroll
button toggles RDCatch into and out of 'scroll mode'. In this mode, the event list display
will be advanced automatically so as to keep the first actively running event centered
within the event list area.
On the right hand side, in addition to Close, are three audition buttons. These buttons can
be used to audition the head and tail of each cut referenced by an event, thus making it
possible to quickly verify that a set of automatic recordings were properly executed.
