London Architect Interface Kit

in London Architect with Soundweb London
We need to replace our Crown PS8810 CN with a BLU series device and would like to know if there is an equivalent of OIF file like that of Crown.
We currently use the UDP/IP Control protocol to remotely monitor the 8810 and other Crown devices, etc.

Specifically, we load the pertinent OIF files for the different devices that we intend to monitor on the network. This is necessary as without it the IQ address and Objects can not be interpreted.

It appears that I may have to manually extract this information via the London Architect application and a lot of poking around. I am hopeful that this is a more expedient approach?

Example: Input 1A Gate Status 0x5128

File: CNM310.OIF

    Hi,
    Couple of questions:
    Are you remotely monitoring the PS8810 and amplifiers via IQwic ?
    Are all the amplifiers running Pip 2 cards on Ethernet ?
    Do you want to monitor the network using London Architect or System Architect?


    If the answer to the above question is 'yes' then it should be pretty straight forward.
    The IQ addressing you mentioned is the equivelant of 'HI-Qnet' addressing.
    London architect can be used to monitor all 2 channel Pip2 cards (Pip Lite, USP3 and USP3CN)
    System architect can be used to monitor and set up the amplifiers.

    Unlike the PS8810, the DSP objects within Soundweb (all variants) are dynamically allocated during the design stage, this means it is impossible to generate a document such as the .oif which lists all addressing data for the DSP objects for your design.

    However, when talking about a given DSP function within your design, the only two parts of the entire address for that parameter which will be dynamic are the HiQnet Node Address (indicates which Soundweb device the DSP object is in) and the Object ID (indicates the exact DSP processor within that device). All remaining parts of the address are fixed (basically the State Variable or Parameter).

    The Soundweb London Interface kit contains a huge appendix which lists the State Variable IDs for each DSP object available to Soundweb London. All you need to manually identify are the HiQnet Node Address and Object ID. You don't even need to do this manually if you use the Serial Tool bar (which shows the entire string required to put the selected control to it's current value).

    If you're using Crestron or AMX then modules are available which make this whole process really quite simple.

    The Soundweb London Interface kit is installed in the Soundweb London install directory as a .pdf.

    Hope this helps.

    Martin
