Below are the main commands used for commercial break scheduling in AUDICOM.
Many of these commands can also be used in special programming blocks (see Content Block Commands) Keep the syntax exactly as shown and always validate in the CyberPlay-Test preview.

​
Commercial Break

/Tanda [Name] /HH:MM XYZ
  • /HH:MM → Start time (hh:mm).
  • XYZ → Flexibility variables (optional):
    • X = S (Start) → time corresponds to break start.
    • X = E (End) → time corresponds to break end.
    • Y = C (Clock) → exact time break (average error ± 6 s).
    • Y = F (Flexible) → flexible break.
    • Z → tolerance in minutes (integer).
If no variables are declared, SF5 is assumed (flexible start with 5 minutes tolerance).
Variables YZ do not apply if X (S/E) is not specified.
In breaks generated by Admicom you may see an asterisk at the end, like *23/36, indicating scheduled duration and amount.
If an exact start break begins with a Meteor instruction, the indicated error may be larger than actual because Meteor times are estimated.
Examples (valid): /Tanda /08:15 SF5 /Tanda Our Children Program /22:30 SC /Tanda /17:00 EC

​
Random

/RND,folder,n*prefix
  • Selects n random files from the folder (located in \Audicom\Audio).
  • The prefix (optional) limits selection to names that start with those characters.
Example: /Tanda /08:15 SF5 Ad-1 Ad-2 /RND,Spots,3*XF Ad-3
Random does not use the Database or control play history. Repetition probability decreases with more files in the folder.
Titles generated by Random do not use crossfade.
/RND can also be used within ExactTime.

​
Time

/Time /n Current time announcement.
  • /1 male voice
  • /2 female voice
  • /3 mixed
Parameter is optional. If not specified, uses the voice set in the on-air desktop time button (and updates it). Example: /Tanda /08:15 SF5 Ad-1 /Time Ad-2
Meteor times in the schedule are estimated. The /Time announcement is built on-air at exact time; the estimation does not affect its actual trigger.

​
Temperature

/Temp Current temperature announcement. Example: /Tanda /20:30 /Temp Ad-1 Ad-2

​
Humidity

/Hum Current humidity announcement. Example: /Tanda /07:00 Ad-1 /Hum Ad-2

​
Pressure

/Pres Atmospheric pressure announcement. Example: /Tanda BREAK-X /17:00 EF3 Ad-1 Ad-2 /Temp /Pres

​
Rainfall

/Rain Rainfall announcement.
If rainfall is zero, the report is not aired (skipped).
Example: /Tanda /10:45 SF8 Ad-1 Ad-2 /Temp /Pres /Rain

​
Complete Weather Report

/Meteor Sequence: time → temperature → humidity → pressure → rainfall (if > 0). Example: /Tanda /00:00 Ad-1 Ad-2 /Meteor Ad-3

​
Comments

; Comment Any line starting with ; is interpreted as a comment and appears in CyberPlay. Example: /Tanda /09:15 SF1 Ad-1 ;This is an example of a comment. ;There can be multiple comment lines. Ad-2 /Time Ad-3

​
Pauses

/Pause Inserts a pause. The system remains in STOP until the operator presses Play. Example: /Tanda Pause Command Example /13:30 ES3 Ad-1 Ad-2 /Temp /Hum ; Program stays in Stop until Play /Pause Ad-3

​
Text Pauses

/Text [Name] /SSS
(text lines...)
(blank line)
  • Inserts pause with text shown in the comments window.
  • /SSS is the estimated time (seconds) for reading (reference).
  • Must end with one blank line.
Example: /Tanda Demo Break /08:30 SC Ad-1 Ad-2 Ad-3 ; Text command follows /Text /30 If text is typed directly in the window, press Enter for line breaks when reaching the width. If pasted from clipboard, it may remain in a single line. Ad-4 Ad-5 Ad-6

​
Chained Events

@File1
@File2
@File3
@File4
  • Chains up to 4 titles.
  • If any is missing, none will air.
Example (news brief): /Tanda /12:00 SF5 /Time Ad-1 Ad-2 @News Intro @12 O’clock News @News Outro ; If “12 O’clock News” doesn’t exist, ; “Intro” and “Outro” won’t air either. Ad-3 Ad-4
Typical application: automated news with recorded intro, body and outro.

​
Regional

/Regional
  • Sends a control signal to remote stations in SatSlave mode (GPIO).
  • During break: LPT Pin 4 = 1 (switch to satellite).
  • At end: LPT Pin 4 = 0 (return to local programming).
Example: /Tanda Demo Break /08:30 SC Ad-1 Ad-2 Ad-3 /Regional Ad-4 Ad-5 Ad-6
