Tick tock control function
Tick tock control

Tick Tone Control is used to control advanced tick tones in zones. Tick tones can still be controlled from the system GUI for each channel, but Tick Tone Control will perform it for all zones, and moreover, can also define different tick tones for System A and System B respectively.

The function can be assigned to both DAK keys and control inputs.

  • Drag-and-drop Input Actions -> Tick Tone Control to:

Amplifier -> Control Inputs -> CI -> CI_1-CI_6 -> on_action/off_action

or

Access Panel -> Programmable Keys -> Key -> p1-px -> press_action/release_action

Settings

Tick tock control function with advanced parameters

Tick Tone A
The tick tone that will be played in System A. There are 3 types of tick tones available in Exigo version 1.2.

Tick Tone B
The tick tone that will be played in System B (only available in A/B System projects). There are 3 types of tick tones available in Exigo version 1.2.

Activation
Start, Stop or Toggle the broadcast.

Destination
The Zone(s) that will receive the broadcast. This may be left blank if access panel keys are used for zone selection.

Repetitions
The number of times the broadcast is played back. Check the Loop box for continuous broadcast.

Priority
The priority of the broadcast. Check the Replace box to make this broadcast replace other broadcasts with the same priority. If the box is not checked, broadcasts with the same priority will be shown as busy. Default is 100.

Cycle Time
Time in seconds for the start of the next broadcast.

Offset B
Time in seconds before the broadcast is started in System B. The purpose of this is to ensure that the tick tone broadcasts do not start at the same time in both System A and System B.

LEDs

Red LED indicates that the function is active.

Use cases:

Case 1: Tick tone test with dynamic zones in an AB system

In this case one button is designated to the tick tone function, while multiple other buttons are used for zone select.

Parameters
Tick tone A Tick Tone 1A
Tick tone B Tick Tone 1B
Activation Toggle
Destination Empty
Repetitions Loop
Priority 100 (default)
Cycle time 10 (default)
Offset B 1 (default)
On interrupt Cancel

Here the operator will first select zones and then start the tick tone function. After checking the speaker loops he deactivates the tick tone again by selecting the appropriate zones and then pressing the tick tone button again.

Case 2: Tick tone in a complete single system

In this case the tick tone button should start the tick tone test and allow it to run in all the zones for a set amount of time.

Parameters
Tick tone A Tick Tone 1A
Tick tone B Tick Tone 1B
Activation Toggle
Destination All zones
Repetitions 50
Priority 100 (default)
Cycle time 10 (default)
Offset B 1 (default)
On interrupt Cancel

By pressing this button the operator will allow the function to run for 50 cycles in all zones before terminating.

Availability

This function is available on Exigo 1.2 and newer.
