Special Commands

Reboot - Reboot System - Restarts the device completely. [The website will automatically be reloaded after a few seconds.]

Reset - Reset To Factory Default Settings - Restores the original settings of the device. [Since this may change back the IP address to the original setting, the website will automatically be reloaded after a few seconds and you will automatically be redirected to the correct website and IP address.]

Device Information

This section displays various details about the device, including:

▪Model
[The device type.]

▪IP Address
[The current IP address. Can be used as a click-able link to call the device with this IP address.]

▪NetBIOS
[An alternate way to call up the web configuration or find the device in the network, and without using the IP address. Can also be used as a click-able link to call the device with its NetBIOS name. Main workflow: Assuming correct network settings, simply type http://SERIALNUMBER/ into your web browser, such as http://ORION000214/ ; often merely ORION000214/ should work. If you want to ping the device, use only ORION000214]

▪MAC Address
[A permanent, unique address.]

▪Serial Number

▪Firmware
[The current firmware version.]

▪Bootloader
[The current bootloader version.]

▪Hardware
[The hardware revision.]

[The current voltage for External Power, Port 1 (V+), and Port 2 (V+).]

▪System Temperature
[The current ambient temperature inside the device case.]

▪Ethernet
[The current status of the two Ethernet ports.]

▪Up Time
[The time that has passed since the last power-cycle or restart.]

Disabled

▪Deactivates the specified pin.

▪This also frees up DMX channels as well as processing resources.

▪The more pins are deactivated, the higher the measure frequency can be [12.5 FPS / Hz for 8 pins and up to 100 FPS / Hz for 1 pin].

Analog
(Between Limits)

▪Linearly measures the incoming voltage at the particular pin.

▪In addition, you can specify the lower and upper limit in which the device measures the analog signal by setting them with help of the Current Limit Values

Digital
(Hysteresis Threshold)

▪Measures the incoming voltage at the particular pin, but interprets it digitally.

▪The lower and upper limit, which are set by Limits, are used as thresholds.

▪Once the signal goes below or above those limits, the provided result changes to the low or to the high value accordingly.

▪Low value and high value are directly set via From Value and To Value in the DMX Channel Configuration

Pin Voltage

▪Measures the incoming voltage at the particular pin.

▪In addition, you can specify the lower and upper limit in which the device measures the analog signal by setting them with help of the Limits

▪The result will be provided as decimal value.

▪If you are using 8 bit with 1 DMX channel as Result Modifier in the DMX Channel Configuration, the main value before the comma will be provided as result (e.g. 3 Volt).

▪If you are using 16 bit with 2 DMX channels as Result Modifier in the DMX Channel Configuration, both values, before and after the comma, will be provided as result (e.g. 3.12 Volt).

External Voltage
(V+)

▪Measures the incoming voltage at Power.

▪In addition, you can specify the lower and upper limit in which the device measures the analog signal by setting them with help of the Limits

▪The result will be provided as decimal value.

▪If you are using 8 bit with 1 DMX channel as Result Modifier in the DMX Channel Configuration, the main value before the comma will be provided as result (e.g. 3 Volt).

▪If you are using 16 bit with 2 DMX channels as Result Modifier in the DMX Channel Configuration, both values, before and after the comma, will be provided as result (e.g. 3.12 Volt).

Counter
(Hysteresis Threshold)

▪Measures the incoming voltage at the particular pin, but interprets it digitally.

▪The lower and upper limit, which are set by Limits, are used as thresholds.

▪Once the signal goes below or above those limits, the provided result is increased by 1.

▪Low value and high value are directly set via From Value and To Value in the DMX Channel Configuration

Count Per Second
(Slow)

▪Measures the incoming voltage at the particular pin, but interprets it digitally.

▪The lower and upper limit, which are set by Limits, are used as thresholds.

▪Once the signal goes below or above those limits, it is counted towards the provided result per second.

▪Low value and high value are directly set via From Value and To Value in the DMX Channel Configuration

▪Due to the processing, only signals that result in a maximum of 100 counts and are thus slower than 50 FPS (< 50 Hz) can be measured.

Count Per Second
(Fast)

▪Measures the incoming voltage at the particular pin, but interprets it digitally.

▪The lower and upper limit, which are set by Limits, are used as thresholds.

▪Once the signal goes below or above those limits, it is counted towards the provided result per second.

▪Low value and high value are directly set via From Value and To Value in the DMX Channel Configuration

▪The device exclusively monitors this particular pin for a quarter of a second. Thus, very high counts can be possible. The count will then be multiplied by 4 and provided as result in FPS /Hz.

Beats Per Minute
(BPM)

▪Measures the incoming voltage at the particular pin, but interprets it digitally.

▪The lower and upper limit, which are set by Limits, are used as thresholds.

▪Once the signal goes below or above those limits, it is counted towards the provided result per second.

▪Low value and high value are directly set via From Value and To Value in the DMX Channel Configuration

▪The the device monitors the time between low and high threshold counts and recalculates them to FPS / Hz.

Signal Slope Detections

▪Measures the incoming voltage at the particular pin, but interprets it digitally.

▪The lower and upper limit, which are set by Limits, are used as thresholds.

▪Once the signal goes below or above those limits, it is counted towards the provided result per second.

▪Low value and high value are directly set via From Value and To Value in the DMX Channel Configuration

▪The device monitors each low and high threshold count and sets the provided result for 1 second to the To Value. Afterwards, the provided result will be set to the From Value again.

▪Due to the processing, it makes it possible to reliably detect very short impulses.

Time Interval (Short)

▪Measures the incoming voltage at the particular pin, but interprets it digitally.

▪A 16-bit counter continuously counts up the milliseconds [ms].

▪The current value [time interval] is always being sent out on 2 DMX channels [0 to 255 coarse, 0 to 255 fine]. Fine is counted up first.

▪The lower and upper limit, which are set by Limits, are used as thresholds.

▪When triggered via the input pin and once the signal goes below the minimum limit, it is being registered as a positive signal [flank]. That is why the minimum limit should be > 0 V.

▪If a positive signal [flank] is being registered, the counter is reset to 0.

▪If no flank is being registered, the counter counts to a maximum of 65536 [255, 255].

▪Time Interval (Short) counts 1/100s of a second and ends at 10.9 minutes.

▪When setting the Result Modifier to 8-bit instead of 16-bit, a maximum of 2.55 seconds is being counted.

Time Interval (Long)

▪Measures the incoming voltage at the particular pin, but interprets it digitally.

▪A 16-bit counter continuously counts up the seconds [s].

▪The current value [time interval] is always being sent out on 2 DMX channels [0 to 255 coarse, 0 to 255 fine]. Fine is counted up first.

▪The lower and upper limit, which are set by Limits, are used as thresholds.

▪When triggered via the input pin and once the signal goes below the minimum limit, it is being registered as a positive signal [flank]. That is why the minimum limit should be > 0 V.

▪If a positive signal [flank] is being registered, the counter is reset to 0.

▪If no flank is being registered, the counter counts to a maximum of 65536 [255, 255].

▪Time Interval (Long) counts the seconds and ends at 18.2 hours.

▪When setting the Result Modifier to 8-bit instead of 16-bit, a maximum of 255 seconds is being counted.
