Declaration and Syntax mpi-File
Basically the mpi-files do define the functions and
attributes of the product-file. The definitions in the mpi-
file do have priority to the adjustments made in the
Setup Menu of the M208 Remote Control.
Example:IR-Power
In the Setup of the M208 the factory setting is IR-
Power : Low
But in the mpi-File IR-power was defined as follows:
IR_POWER = 2 (High).
In this case the Remote Control will always send with
high IR power (High).
DESCRIPTION
The definition in the DESCRIPTION File indicates the
name with which the mpi-File is shown in the
Database Browser of the M208-Manager. Therefore
the name of the mpi-file can be different from the
name shown in the Database Browser. This enables a
good description of the products in the Database
Browser and a windows compatible naming of the mpi
files.
Definition of the Mpi-File: DESCRIPTION = “ xxx“
Example:
Device-File: M51 DVD.mpi
DESCRIPTION = "Revox M51 DVD Player"
SELECT
SELECT defines if and which IR Code will be send by
the Remote Control. You can choose from all on-
commands of the M51 devices.
Exception when choosing: NONE
In case that in the product file (mpi) POWER_ON is
explicitly defined, this command will be send. If there
is no definition for POWER_ON no IR-command will
be send while pressing the device button.
Choose in the 208 Manager: M51 Select
Definition in the mpi file: SELECT =
0 = None
1 = Tuner
2 = DVD
3 = Tape/ Rec-In
4 = Server/ Aux1
5 = Aux2
6 = Aux3
7 = Local
8 = TV
9 = Video1
10 = Video2
11 = Video3
12 = Video4
NAME
The defintion of name indicates which name shall
appear in the header of the M208-Display. The display
can only show 8 digits properly, additional digits will
only be shown with ... .
Definition in mpi-file: NAME = “ xxx“
Example:
NAME = "DVD"
Indication in the M208-Display:
DEVICE
DEVICE defines the IR-Datatyp. See also chapter
Advanced Functions.
Selection field in the M208 Manager: Device Type
Associated definitions in the Mpi-File: DEVICE =
0 = No Device
1 = M51 FM-Tuner
2 = Original RC28
3 = M37/ M57 Server
4 = Feller Beamit
5 = Infrared RC5
6 = Infrared RAW
IR_POWER
IR_POWER defines the power the IR codes are sent.
There are two power levels existing:
IR-Power: Low Range : approx. 20 m*
IR-Power: High Range: approx. 40 m*
*
no obstacles
Selection field in the M208 Setup: IR-Power
Associated definition in the Mpi-File: IR_POWER =
0= Default
1 = LOW
2 = HIGH
IR_POWER = 0 selects the IR power which is defined
in the Setup of the M208.
* The Range is correlated to the sensitiveness of the IR Receiver
and the position the product has been installed.
# (Remark)
With the special sign # you can introduce comments
into the mpi-files, which do not have a function.
