7. [HELP]
This command displays information available for MT115-110 control.
Command Format: [HELPCn]
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
In order to display the RS-232 commands available for the MT115-110
C4, send [HELPC4]. The commands along with a brief description
will be displayed in the Terminal Window.
Feedback Control
The next commands are a function of both the card and the front panel and
allow flexibility over when and how card information is displayed.
8. [FBD]
This command turns feedback delay on or off. It is necessary when
installing newer cards in old systems. If the system does not receive all
of the feedback from the card, the card may be communicating too
fast. This command will slow down the card's communication rate.
Command Format: [FBDm]
m = Delay (0= no delay, 1= delay 100mS)
Example:
The command [HELPC4] is sent to the C4. Some of the HELP file is
displayed, but most is missing. Send [FBD1] to slow down the rate at
which the card sends feedback to the system.
9. [?]
This command returns general information about the MultiTasker and
cards installed in the unit.
Command Format: [?Ui]
Ui = Unit ID (i = from 0 to 9)
Example:
A MultiTasker with unit U1 has a front panel part number MT101-101
and contains an MT103-122, MT103-123, and MT115-110. Send [?U1]
and receive the following feedback:
[(MT101-101U1)(MT103-122C01)(MT103-123C02)(MT115-110C04)]
MT101-101U1 = Panel Number and Unit ID
MT103-122C01 = An MT103-122 is in slot 1
MT103-123C02 = An MT103-123 is in slot 2
MT115-110C04 = An MT115-110 is in slot 4
10. [?C]
This command returns general information about the card and its
status.
Command Format: [?Cn]
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
The MT115-110 C4 has each input set to a gain of 4 and equalization
of 32. Send [?C4] and receive feedback similar to the following.
[(MT115-110C04)(VR690-0231-003C04) (GN0404C04)(EQ3232C04)]
All status feedback is enclosed in brackets, "[ ]". Each data field within
the status is enclosed in parentheses. The first two characters identify
the status type. The last three characters are the card’s ID.
MT115-110 = Card model number
VR690-0231-003 = Firmware version
GN0404 = Gain levels
EQ3232 = Equalization values
The gain and equalization settings are read from left to right. The first
2 digits are for Input 1 and the last 2 digits are for Input 2. In this case,
both gains are set to 4 and both equalization levels are set to 32.
11. [AFB]
This command enables/disables the command acknowledgement
feedback, "[ ]", from the MT115-110. This setting is automatically
saved to memory and can only be changed by sending the [AFB]
command a second time. Use this command when sending a large
number of commands to one or more cards with no delays, or when
repeatedly sending commands to one card with no delays.
If monitoring feedback to keep track of events, the [ACK] command is
sent last and used to notify the system an event has occurred.
Command Format: [AFBmCn]
m = 1 = ON, 0 = OFF
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
Send several commands to C4 to initialize the card. The required
commands are as follows:
[EQ1=1C4],
[GAIN1=4C4],
etc.
Send the [AFB] command first, and then the switching commands.
[AFB0C4],
[EQ1=1C4],
[GAIN1=4C4],
etc.
[ACKC4]
In the above example, the brackets, "[ ]", will not be displayed after
each command is executed. However, in order to notify a user or
controller that the last command has been executed, the [ACK]
command is sent last. Since each command is executed in order, the
[ACK] command is used to display the brackets, "[ ]", at the end of the
command group.
