Kaleido Remote Control Protocol (Gateway) | 17
o NAME is the name assigned to the timer in the Timer configuration panel accessed
from the Timer Browser window in KEdit, or in the Timer Editor window in XEdit.
o StartTime may be one of the following:
 HH:MM:SS:FF – time in hours:minutes:seconds:frames at which this timer will
start its count, depending on its configuration and presence of triggers. Note that
if the hour value is ―00‖, the start time is deemed to be the previous midnight,
whereas ―24‖ is considered to be the next midnight. This allows the timer to
decide whether it should be counting or waiting to start when it compares the
start time to the current time.
Note: The current implementation allows the user to specify frame values, but
they are not used by the timer, which will start on the exact second.
 NOW – the timer will start counting immediately upon receiving the command.
 WAIT – the timer will not start until it receives a setKTimerTrigger gateway
command with the argument START.
o PresetTime may be one of the following:
 Count duration (hours:minutes:seconds:frames) for UP and DOWN timer modes.
 End time (hours:minutes:seconds:frames) for the REMAINING timer mode.
Note: The current implementation allows the user to specify frame values, but
they are not used by the timer, which will start on the exact second.
o TimerMode is the operating mode of the timer. Possible values are: UP, DOWN,
REMAINING.
o EndMode defines what is to happen when the timer reaches the end of its count.
Possible values are: LOOP, STOP, and OVERRUN.
Gateway response:
 <ack/>: The command was recognized by the Gateway.
 <nack/>: The Gateway was not able to recognize the command.
setKTimerTrigger KX K2 AQ
This command is used to control the specified countdown timer component. The countdown timer
can be started, stopped or reset.
<setKTimerTrigger>set id="TimerID" trigger="Trigger"</setKTimerTrigger>
Where:
o TimerID is the ID of the countdown timer component to control.
o Trigger is the action that the countdown timer must do. This value can either be START,
STOP or RESET.
Gateway response:
 <ack/>: The command was recognized by the Gateway.
 <nack/>: The Gateway was not able to recognize the command.
