This command will return general information about the MultiTasker
and cards installed in the unit.

Ui = Unit ID (i = from 0 to 9)
Example:
A MultiTasker with unit ID 1 has a front panel with part number
MT101-101 and contains an MT103-122 and MT115-111. Send the
command [?U1] and receive the following:
[(MT101-101U1)(MT103-122C01)(MT115-111C04)]
MT101-101U1 = Panel number/unit ID
MT103-122C01 = MT103-122 is in slot 1
MT115-111C04 = MT115-111 is in slot 4
10. [?C]
This command will return general information about the card and its
status.
Command Format: [?Cn]
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
The MT115-111 in slot 4 has Inputs 1 and 2 set to their default values.
Send the command [?C4] to receive feedback similar to the following.
[(MT115-111C04) (VR690-0231-001C04) (GN0404C04) (EQ3232C04)]
All feedback is enclosed in square brackets. Each data field in the status
is in parentheses. The first two characters identify the status type and
the last three are the card’s ID.
MT115-111 = Card model number
VR690-0231-001 = Firmware version
GN0404 = Video gain levels
EQ3232 = Equalization settings
The video gain levels are displayed for both Input 1 and Input 2. The
first 2 digits are the setting for Input 1 and the last 2 digits are the
setting for Input 2. In this case, both are set to a level of 4 out of 11.
The equalization levels are displayed for both Input 1 and Input 2 as
well. The first 2 digits are the setting for Input 1 and the last 2 digits
are the setting for Input 2. In this case, both are set to a level of 32 out
of 64.
