PA.INI File Configuration Options
The goal of this document is to serve as a guide to variables that can be controlled via the PA.ini file. We're not trying to explain all the functions here, just some of the entries that may be of use if added.
Please use extreme caution when implementing or changing these values. The reason that many of these variables are left out of the MWare graphical environment is that many could cause adverse effects if you don't use them with care. The possibility exists to cause a functioning system to fail or damage equipment. You have been warned.

PA.INI Variables
|
[Cobranet] |
|
|
useDynavar=True |
The Dynavar device may be used to "Peek" and "Poke" values into CAB's and DSP-CN's to control firmware variables. This entry enables or disables the use of such devices. Default: False |
|
requestPriorityTxCard0=32 |
Only one transmitter is permitted per bundle. If two transmitters attempt to transmit the same bundle, request priority is used to resolve the contention. The higher priority transmitter will override a bundle from a lower priority transmitter when they are both set to transmit on the same bundle number. If transmit priority is the same for both transmitters, contention resolution is first-come-first-serve. Card: 0 - 7, Value: 1 - 255, Default: 32 |
|
requestPriorityRxCard0=32 |
Only one receiver is permitted per unicast bundle. If two receivers attempt to receive the same bundle, request priority is used to resolve the contention. The higher priority transmitter will receive the bundle instead of the lower priority transmitter when they are both set to receive on the same bundle number. If receive priority is the same for both receivers, contention resolution is first-come-first-serve. Card: 0 - 7, Value: 1 - 255, Default: 32 |
|
useAdvanced=true |
Enables/Disables the use of Advanced Cobranet devices within the viewfile. Advanced Cobranet devices allow routing of audio channels within a Cobranet bundle. Default: False |
|
|
|
|
[Padpu] |
|
|
DC_Print=True |
Displays (In the Terminal Window) the settings for all Delay Compensation devices that are used in the viewfile. |
|
DC_Max_Delay=40 |
Sets the Maximum delay time any Delay Compensation device may aquire. |
|
DC_Green_Only=True |
Enables Delay Compensation devices to be added only along the paths wired using green colored wires. Note: the color green used must be the one with the dot in it. Default: False |
|
bobPollIntervalMS=100 |
Time interval (in Mili Seconds) waited before polling BoB status during a repeated loop. Lessening the interval (lower number) may speed up Control Voltage Input responses from the BoBs but may have other negative impacts Default:100. |
|
BoardRev1=21 |
This setting enables MWare to utilize 64 and 80MHz DSP boards within the same system. Normally, MWare expects all 64 or 80 MHz as selected within the File | Compile Options dialog box. When this entry is present, the selection within Compile Option is ignored for Board #1 and the software will attempt to compile at the rate selected in this entry. 20=64MHz MMDSP; 21=80MHz MMDSP. By assigning different values representing each DSP board in the system, you can effectively utilize the additional DSP cycles in a system with mixed 64 and 80 MHz DSP Boards. |
|
BoardRev2=20 |
BoardRev2 controls the DSP Speed settings for the #2 DSP board |
|
BoardRev3=20 |
BoardRev3 controls the DSP Speed settings for the #3 DSP board |
|
BoardRev4=20 |
BoardRev4 controls the DSP Speed settings for the #4 DSP board |
|
BoardRev5=20 |
BoardRev5 controls the DSP Speed settings for the #5 DSP board |
|
BoardRev6=20 |
BoardRev6 controls the DSP Speed settings for the #6 DSP board |
|
BoardRev7=20 |
BoardRev7 controls the DSP Speed settings for the #7 DSP board |
|
BoardRev8=20 |
BoardRev8 controls the DSP Speed settings for the #8 DSP board |
|
Hip=true |
Toggles cool, funny and othewise hip messages during various functions. Default:fals |
|
|
|
|
[communications] |
|
|
retrytimeout=2500 |
Amount of time used to determine if the network (remote client) is responding. |
|
timeout=5000 |
