VComm Radio Transmission Delay

ID:  2006

Object Description

The VComm Radio Transmission Delay object can be used in conjunction with VComm Radio Objects. It is used to simulate SATCOM (satellite communications) effects using VComm virtual radios. By default, network data from a virtual radio is sent out as soon as it is requested. Use this object to add a delay between the time the radio is requested to transmit and the time it actually begins transmitting. For example, if the delay is set to 2000, the effect seen at a receiving radio will be a signal that appears to arrive 2 seconds after it was transmitted.

To use the object, simply connect the radio handle output of a radio object to the radio handle input of this object. The data collected on the input pin is sent to the radio object and can be changed while V+ is running.

Note: Changes in the DELAY pin will not take effect unless the PTT is in the OFF position. In other words, you must first set the PTT to OFF before changing the DELAY value of this object.

Input Pins

HANDLE

This input pin determines which radio is controlled by this object. This pin should be connected to the radio handle output pin of the radio object to be controlled.

DELAY

Delay time in milliseconds.

Example

The example below demonstrates the use of the VComm Transmission Delay Data object. It is attached to a VComm GENERIC Radio, V8 DIS Only object. The Delay is set to 6000 milliseconds (6 seconds).
