Introduction

RadioTraffic converts to a specific AV-Air log format.

Station Configuration

To configure RadioTraffic to work with AV-Air, you will first need modify the station configuration to utilize AV-Air as the automation system. In the administration 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 AV-Air 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 AV-Air will pull the file from. The 'Station Identifier' will need to match the 'station number' described in the AV-Air User Manual (which is a number from 0 to 9).

Cart Numbers

We do not restrict cart number length in any way; so please check with AV-Air for specifics on what is allowed.

Categories

If using automatic reconciliation, AV-Air requires categories to be configured in RT and these categories must match those configured in the automation system.

In the Raw Aired File view, Column13 contains the per event category configured in AV-Air. If these categories do not exist in RT, the event will be ignored.

Automation Commands

Automation commands are exported as cart cart numbers.

Log Notes

Log Notes are currently not exported.

Programs

Programs are currently not exported.

Breaks

Break markers do not automatically export and are used strictly inside of RT as a means of scheduling.

Automatic Log Reconciliation

We also support automatic log reconciliation for the as-aired logs. To configure this feature, you need to determine where these files are located on your network and use that path to configure the "Aired Log Path". The filename to import should follow the mmddyy.LTX naming template.
