Introduction

RadioTraffic converts to a specific Amagi Broadcast Solutions automation log format.

Station Configuration

To configure RadioTraffic to work with Amagi Broadcast Solutions automation, you will first need modify the station configuration to utilize Amagi Broadcast Solutions automation as the automation system. In the settings module, open 'Stations'. Select the station you want to configure and double click. Once the station configuration is visible, select the 'Files' tab. Select the 'Product' to Amagi Broadcast Solutions using the drop down selection tool. The 'Automation Log Path' is where RadioTraffic will export the log to, so set this to the file system folder that Amagi automation will pull the file from.

The filename that we export follows the YYMMDD.csv pattern where YY is the last two digits of the year, MM is the month and DD is the day.
