Firmware-72 Function-002

TIME (2, 02h)

The timer function measures the time in milliseconds (up to 65535 ms) between two events, ie. between two successive peak events or between a peak and end-peak events. These events are defined in the EDIT CONFIG command. The following methods can be selected using the FUNCTION command’s parameter values FP1:

FP1

0yyyyyyy:	yyyyyyy = [1..127]; Scale factor
	yyyyyyy = 1; time is output in ms
	yyyyyyy = 100; time is output in 10ths of a second

Example:

In order to output the time in ms of a tap on a Touch sensor connected to input 1 of the USB-microDig as MIDI controller 64 messages, the following messages are sent (see also the EDIT CONFIG command):

240, 125, 0 {DEV}, 8 {FUNCTION}, 0 {yyy = 0}, 0 {FP2}, 2 {time function}, 1 {ms}, 247 (F0h, 7Dh, 00h, 08h, 00h, 3Ch, 02h, 01h, F7h)

240, 125, 0 {DEV}, 106 {EDIT CONFIG}, 1 {configuration number}, 0 {input}, 48 {control-change message}, 64 {controller number}, 34 {peak detection with end notification}, 64 {threshold}, 127 {top}, 0 {noisegate}, 0 {time window}, 247 (F0h, 7Dh, 00h, 6Ah, 01h, 00h, 30h, 40h, 22h, 40h, 7Fh, 00h, 00h, F7h)

The threshold value may need adjustment to properly capture the signal peaks that occur when tapping the Touch sensor.
