todoAutomation Commands
RadioTraffic.com automation commands map directly to various Enco DAD playlist event types. Most commands require a function definition (A, S, L, N) and optionally support additional parameters delimited by the pipe symbol (|).
Chain Events
There are two types of Chain Events available in Enco DAD, the Chain and the Smart Chain. To create these in RadioTraffic.com, you'll need to enter:
Cart #: CHAIN
Command: A, S, L
*[8 characters">8 characters">*[8 characters
The usage of the asterisk (*) will automatically use tomorrows date when determining the playlist to load. Otherwise, you can define the playlist directly.
Delay Event
Cart #: DELAY
Command: A or L{|delay}
Delay is the amount of time in seconds to perform the delay. If not provided, a value of 0 will be assumed.
Timed Event / Branches
Cart #: TIMED, HARD, HARD2, HARDALL, SOFT, SOFT2, SOFTLMT
Command: A or L
delayThe cart numbers map to type of events defined within the Enco DAD user manual. Each variant maps as follows:
TIMED - Timed Event
HARD - Basic Hard Branch
HARD2 - Forward Hard Branch
HARDALL - Basic Hard Brach 'All Hours'
