How to determine state of APF and NR

Tim K9WX

I'm trying to figure out a way to determine the state of my 6600's APF and NR settings for a Node-RED project.

I had a similar need earlier for the headphone and speaker (aka lineout) settings. Their state is part of the return from the flexradio -message node:

But, I am not seeing similar method of determining the state of the APF and NR settings. I don't see them listed in the return from the flexradio-message node.

Hi Tim, You need to subscribe to Slice info, at which point it returns info about any open slices. The line beginning CD21 subscribes to all slices. The line below that starts the status message about slice 0 (the only slice I had open when I executes the sub slice all command). If you look for "slice 0" starting after a "|" symbol, you will know that you have a slice status message. Now if you look for "nr=" or "nb=", you0 will find your on and off status of NR and NB.

Once the subscription is started and you get all the info from that, individual changes just report the relevant info. In the last four lines, I turned on and off NR, then NB.

Note that the R21 response to my CD21 command came at some random point, so don't wait for that. Just look for the information that you want (slice 0 in this case).

Let me know if that answered your question. I know it was not directly a Node Red answer...

EDIT: Sorry, you asked about APF. Just substitute APF where I talk about NB.

It looks like you are using the Node Red Flex Node

1- Send the command "sub slice all" as Len says, this will tell the Flex to send you any changes made to a slice

2- Filter each slice. Each slice will have a "msg.topic" for each slice:

Slice A is msg.topic = slice/0

Slice B is msg.topic = slice/1

Use the "Switch node, to filter each slice, using the "msg.topic" as the "Property" to switch.

3- Find the path to the slice variable you desire. Put a debug node on a slice. On your Flex GUI client, change the variable you are looking for. Look for the path to the desired variable in your debug window. In this example, I changed the DSP settings, on slice A:

You can click on the "copy path" icon, to copy the path to the desired variable:

For the example shown the path is: "payload.nb_level".

5 - You can now use the desired path, for the subject variable, in other nodes as inputs. Here is an example of a debug node, set to show the NB Level to the debug panel using the path, "msg.payload.nb_level".

Thanks, Len and Alan.

I get the response I would expect when I use PuTTY to send the sub slice all command. But I don't get any usable data when I do it in Nod-RED. (I wired in an info inject to verify that at least that was working.)

So, first things first, before I get to filtering, why am I not seeing slice data with this arrangement?

Tim asked: why am I not seeing slice data with this arrangement?

When you subscribe to "sub slice all", the Flex server will, thereafter, send you slice info, from the GUI Client, when a slice parameter changes, on the GUI Client.

Change a parameter on your GUI Client, i.e, Maestro or Smart SDR, and watch the debug window.

That's what I would have expected. But when I change the frequency of the slice (I only have one open) I don't receive any data in the debug window.

In producing this screenshot, I first injected the sub slice all command which produced the string(0) output. The I changed the frequency of the slice and no additional output is received in the debug window.
