16 PLAYING SCRIPT FILES
With the DN-V1700, programs can be played at will using files that include unique script commands.
These operating instructions only include a general description of the script commands.
For details of the individual commands, consult your store of purchase.
2 Script file names
Script file names have the following format: File name with a maximum of 8 ASCII code characters + ".DSC".
Files are stored in the "SCRIPT" directory.
2 Executing script files
Programmed playback using script files is performed by playing the desired script file in the "SCRIPT" directory.
2 Operation of the DN-V1700 while playing script files
The commands included in the script file are executed in order. Execution of the following command begins once execution of the
previous command is completed. When a file is playing, the next command is only executed after playback of the file finishes.
If interrupt commands have been specified, execution shifts to the specified label according to the specified conditions, and the
command in the next line in the label is executed immediately. When interruption under the same conditions is declared on multiple
channels, the setting for the channel with the lowest number is effective.
If "@" is added before a command, that command is executed even if a file is playing, after which the next command is executed
immediately, without waiting for file playback to finish. (Refer to the list of script commands for the commands for which "@" is
usable.)
2 Automatic script execution
If there is a file with the name "ply00000.dsc" in the SCRIPT directory, the script is executed automatically when the device is
started. (The script is not executed if the STOP button is held in while the device is starting.)
2 Stopping script playback
Script playback can be stopped while a script is playing using the operations below, except when the "on break goto" command is
set:
• By pressing and holding the STOP button on the front panel for at least 2 seconds
• By pressing and holding the parallel remote controller's STOP button for at least 2 seconds
• With the "RJ" serial remote command
• With the "RJ" FTP "SITE" command
During script playback, no operations other than the above stop operations and status confirmation by serial remote or "SITE"
command are effective.
2 Script file format
• TEXT file
• The terminator of each command must be the return command of regular MS DOS files (0x0D0A).
• Commands must be written either all in capital letters or all in small letters. An error will occur if a command contains both capital
and small letters. Parameters and comments, however, may include both capital and small letters.
• Comments may start from any position, as long as they start before the 79th character in a line.
• The maximum number of characters per line is 78 (not including return) for lines that do not include comments, 250 for lines
including comments. Even when the comment starts after the command, the ";" mark indicating the beginning of the comment
must be placed within the first 78 characters.
• The maximum number of lines per file (the total for command lines and label lines) is 250 (not including lines consisting only of
comments).
• The maximum file size, including comments, is 16 kilobytes (16,384 bytes).
• When a parameter follows a command, separate it with a space.
• When there are multiple parameters, separate them with commas.
• When omitting parameters that can be omitted, the comma separating parameters cannot be omitted. When omitting the very
last parameter, however, the comma preceding that parameter may be omitted.
