20. [SID+]
This command sets the card ID of all cards in a system to their slot
number plus the offset value.
Command Format: [SID+n]
n = Offset amount (n = # from 0 to 99)
The maximum card ID is 99, so subtract the highest slot number from
99 to find the maximum offset. For example, in an 8 slot enclosure, the
maximum offset would be 91. The slot number (8) plus the offset (91)
equals 99.
Example:
There are two 20-slot enclosures to be connected together during
normal operation. The first unit will use the default IDs where the card
ID is equal to the slot number. The second unit will have the same unit
ID, but each card ID will be offset by 20.
Connect the computer to the second unit only and send the command
[SID+20] to set the ID of all the cards in the second enclosure to their
slot number plus 20, then reconnect both units.
The cards in the first unit will be referenced as card IDs 1-20 and the
cards in the second unit will be referenced by card IDs 21-40.
21. [RSN]
This command displays the slot number of a card with a specified ID
number. If more than one card has the same ID, each slot number will
be displayed.
Command Format: [RSNCi]
Ci = Card ID (i = # from 1 to 99)
Example:
The card in slot 4 takes up four slots in the enclosure. Its ID was set to
1 since it is the first card installed in the system, reading from left to
right. Send the command [RSNC1] to find the slot number of this card.
The system responds with the following feedback:
[4]
Group Commands
Group commands allow several cards with the same functions to be
controlled simultaneously with a single command. Up to 8 groups (G1-G8)
may be defined. These commands apply to all cards, not only the
MT115-111.
22. [WR]
This command adds cards to a group. In MultiTasker systems with
audio and video cards, the groups are typically as follows:
Group 1 = Video Cards
Group 2 = Audio Cards
Group 3 = Video and Audio Cards
Command Format: [WRCn1Cn2…Gk]
Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)
Gk = Group ID (k = # from 1-8)
Example:
Add C2, C4, and C6 to G5 by sending the command [WRC2C4C6G5].
After executing this command, G5 will consist of C2, C4, and C6.
Now add C8 to G5 by sending [WRC8G5]. C8 is added to G5, and G5 is
not overwritten. View the contents of G5 by sending [RDG5] and
receiving the following feedback:
[G5=C2C4C6C8]
23. [RMC]
This command removes one or more cards from a group.
Command Format: [RMCn1Cn2…Gk]
Cn = Card ID (n= # from 1 to max slots)
Gk = Group ID (k = # from 1-8)
Example:
G5 consists of C2, C4, C6, and C8. Remove C6 and C8 by sending
[RMC6C8G5]. View the contents of G5 by sending [RDG5] and
receiving the following feedback:
[G5=C2C4]
24. [RMG]
This command deletes one or all groups.
Command Format: [RMGk]
Gk = Group ID (k = # from 1-8, * for all)
Example:
Remove all cards from G52 by sending [RMG5]. The system will return
the following feedback:
[G5=0]
Example 2:
Remove all cards from all groups, effectively deleting all groups, by
sending [RMG*]. The system will return the following feedback:
G1-G8: EMPTY
25. [RD]
This command reads and then displays the members in a group.
Command Format: [RDGk]
Gk = Group ID (k = # from 1-8)
Example:
C2, C4, and C6 make up G5. Read the member data for G5 by sending
the command [RDG5]. The system will return feedback as follows:
[G5=C2C4C6]
The feedback shows G5 and then the cards that make up G5. In this
case, G5 includes C2, C4, and C6.
