Hi,

i need to setup a volume gauge for a Pioneer VSX922 and have done it successfully for a Yamaha RXV673. For the Yamaha we use a pattern search on VOL=(.*) but the Pioneer IP cmds just use VU and VD.

I am not sure how would i use this in a pattern because there are many other cmds starting with 'V*'. I could set two fixed data for VU and VD in the 2-way control but then i am lost in terms of what to set for the project numbers etc.

Basically i am trying to follow the setup as for the Yamaha but not sure.

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks.

Hi

Setup the following, (below will give you a gauge plus a label with the volume details eg -40dB)

>Project Number called AMPFEEDBACK, min value 1, max 185, default 80
>Project Number called AMPVOLUME, min value -93, max 185, default 80

Now go to your amp config 2-way and setup the following;

>Name - Volume Status
>Condition Type - Feedback Matches a Pattern (dropdown list), & send capture data to a "Number"
>Data - VOL(.*) then on the right select "AMPFEEDBACK" from the drop down list.
>The press Add

Once you select add, it should look like this;

Name Condition Actions
Volume Status Pattern = VOL(.*) 0 Actions - Double Click to Edit

Now click on the 0 actions - Double Click to Edit, we need now 4 actions;

1) - Set action type to "Set a Number" select AMPVOLUME, type this is [AMPFEEDBACK] where it says data, then add
2) - Set action type to "Set a Number" select AMPVOLUME, type this is [/]2 where it says data, then add
3) - Set action type to "Set a Number" select AMPVOLUME, type this is [-]80.5 where it says data, then add

Before you do the 4th actions, go and setup a Label called AMPVOLUMETEXT, DEFAULT VALUE 1 SPACE
4) - Set action type to "Set a Label" (note you will need to change this from set a Number to set a label,
select AMPVOLUMETEXT, type this is [AMPVOLUME].dB where it says data, then add

>Now go back to Project Setting in menu bar and go to the AMPFEEDBACK Number you created, click on it and select "Custom Range Actions"

Now do the following, it should look like this; add min & max and add

Name Condition Actions
1 9 1 Actions = Double Click to Edit, add send a command 00[AMPFEEDBACK]VL
10 99 1 Actions = Double Click to Edit, add send a command 0[AMPFEEDBACK]VL
100 184 1 Actions = Double Click to Edit, add send a command [AMPFEEDBACK]VL

Now add your Gauge, then go to Gauge settings in top menu and select AMPFEEDBACK from the drop down menu, your Gauge should now be working.

Now to show the volume data on the label your created eg -40dB, add a Text label to page your page, then go to text on menu bar and select AMPVOLUMETEXT from the drop down menu.

Should all be working
