AMX Duet Tango module issues

in NetLinx Modules & Duet Modules
I have AMX tango audio controller which is connected via serially to a master and six masters controlling it. All six masters have the AMX tango module and they are doing switching of 32 rooms, controlling volume,etc.


Here is the code i use for the volume level, i check which all rooms are selected and then i try to control the volume of all the rooms. But instead of increasing the volume, the tango works for a time but some time, it keeps increasing and decreasing the volume and the audio is chopped.




define_constant
integer nRmCount=32
LEVEL_EVENT[virtualTPMBRAutonomicsSwt,1]
{
local_var integer nloop

for(nloop=nRmCount ; nloop>0 ; nloop--)
{

if ( nRmSource[nloop]==1)
SEND_LEVEL vdvMatrixAudio[nloop],1,level.value

}
}


Now each controller constantly sends commands to the tango which is like this

Please advise on how to rectify this error

    You have the comm module running in the master connected to the Tango and the UI module is running in all 6 masters?

    I think only the master physically connected to the Tango should have the AMX Tango module.

    multiple masters having the duet module

    Right now i see my error, i have amx duet module running in all the 6 controllers, so i guess that why its going offline.

    But how do i put it in one controller and control the tango from all the other 5 controllers??

    Make sure the processors are set to different SYSTEM numbers. Add entries to the URL list to make the links, but do not create a loop. To avoid loops, I would suggest adding the main processor's IP address to the URL list of each of the 5 other processors. If you create a loop (add Proc 1 to proc 2's URL list and add Proc 2 to Proc 1's URL list) you will cause all sorts of bad things to happen... basically, don't cross the beams :) Use the online tree and Refresh Network Online Tree to verify all processors show up.

    Once you have the processors talking to each other, assuming the main processor with the Tango is system 1, you can declare the virtual device on the other processors like this: vdvTangoZ1 = 41001:1:1. Notice the :1 for the SYSTEM instead of :0. This tells the processor that the device is on system 1. Now, just use send_command vdvTangoZ1,"'Some Command Here'" to control the tango.

    more info

    All processors are set to different system ids. URL list is only fed into one controller.

    Duet module was loaded into all 6 controllers and it was working fine, and then i did the audio presets and then it started behaving weird.

    Now even with just the amx duet module loaded only , the diagonostic tab says
    Line 406 (17:20:54):: DDD.physicalDeviceOffline: 5001:1:7 is offline

    Now if i have just one controller running the module.

    How do i make the other controllers send commands, do level events, also process feedback on it.

    Ya know I posted a repsonse with that information this morning and now it's gone. Maybe I hit preview and not send and then exited?

    Leave 'AMX_MatrixAudio_MiSeries_MAIN' file as is in the master connected to the device (copy and paste into you main main if that's the case)

    In your other master's take the 'AMX_MatrixAudio_MiSeries_MAIN' file and remove the define device for the IP and serial device for the Tango and then change all your virtual to the correct system number of the master connected to the device. If that master is system 3 then: 
    vdvMatrixAudio1=41001:1:3 //virtual device 1
vdvMatrixAudio2=41001:2:3 //virtual device 2
vdvMatrixAudio3=41001:3:3 //virtual device 3
vdvMatrixAudio4=41001:4:3 //virtual device 4
vdvMatrixAudio5=41001:5:3 //virtual device 5
etc......

    Now remove : 
    #if_not_defined IP 
	DEFINE_MODULE 'AMX_Matrix_MiSeries_Comm_dr1_0_1' comm_code(vdvMatrixAudio1,dvMatrixAudioSerial)
#else
	#warn 'Remember to set the IP_Address module property value to match the device IP address.'
	#warn 'The IP address is changed in the AMX_MatrixAudio_MiSeries_UI.axs by updating the IP constant.'
	DEFINE_MODULE 'AMX_Matrix_MiSeries_Comm_dr1_0_1' comm_code(vdvMatrixAudio1,dvMatrixAudioIP)
#end_if
    in all masters other than the one connected to the Tango and that should do it.

    I'm assuming each master has it's own TP so define them anyway you want. They could all 10001:1:0 if you want since each UI module will run in each master.

    Volume choppin

    Thanks got that to work, now the volume keeps choppin, i think my level event code needs work

    LEVEL_EVENT[virtualTPMBRAutonomicsSwt,4]
    {
    local_var integer nloop

    for(nloop=nRmCount ; nloop>0 ; nloop--)
    {

    if ( nRmSource[nloop]==1)
    SEND_LEVEL vdvMatrixAudio[nloop],4,level.value

    }
    }

    this is what i am getting from the notifications tab

    I only downloaded the Tango module this morning and never actually used it but it appears this posted level event isn't part of the module and is something you added. (Unless I missed something which is possible.)
    LEVEL_EVENT[vdvMatrixAudio,VOL_LVL]
LEVEL_EVENT[vdvMatrixAudio,PAGE_VOLUME_LVL]
    in the level event code original to the UI module you have VOL_LVL which defined in the snapi.axi as a constant of 1 and the PAGE_VOLUME_LVL is defined the the AdvancedEvents.axi bundled with the module as 8.

    In your code your do a send level to level 4 and in the UI mod they're sending to PAGE_VOLUME_LVL (level 8). 
    SEND_LEVEL vdvMatrixAudio[nRoomSelected],PAGE_VOLUME_LVL,value
    So basically I would see if the module works first and then try and alter it to do any other tricks you might want or need.

    Issue resolved

    LEVEL_EVENT[virtualTPMBRAutonomicsSwt,1]
    {
    local_var integer nloop

    for(nloop=nRmCount ; nloop>0 ; nloop--)
    {

    if ( nRmSource[nloop]==1)
    SEND_LEVEL vdvMatrixAudio[nloop],1,level.value

    }
    }


    this is the level even that i shud ve posted.

    the other one was for treble.

    I got it resolved by commenting out the ui module, the ui module was echoing out level events
