SRC Send Delay Timer

The Input Sending Delay functionality on the SRC is used in the scenario where an input must be in a certain state for a period of time before the state should be considered to have changed. An example is a stack light that can be continuously on or in a blinking state. If the stack light is capable of blinking and the blink rate is every 3 seconds then the input sending delay can be set to 5 seconds. Only after the input has been in the same state for more than 5 seconds will the SRC change the state of the input.

In addition, if the state of the input alternates more than twice then that status of the input will be reported as an A for alternating, instead of the standard H or L indicating High or Low.

The input delay can be enabled or disabled by sending a string using the following syntax:

inputDelay:[port]:[state]:[duration]|

[duration] is only needed if the [state] is ON

To enable the input delay on port 1 with a delay of 10 seconds the following string would be sent:

inputDelay:X1:ON:010|

To enable the input delay on port 3 with a delay of 5 seconds the following string would be sent:

inputDelay:X3:ON:005|

To disable the input delay on port 2 the following string would be sent:

inputDelay:X2:OFF|
