GROUP OF CARDS
Command Format: [OFFmGk]
This command disables output “m” of group “k”
without affecting any other outputs. If “m” is
blank, all outputs are turned off.
m = Output number (m = # from 1 to 6)
k = Group ID (k = # from 1 to 8)
Example:
1. [OFF1G5]: Turn off Output 1 for each card
in group 5.
2. [OFFG5]: Turn off all outputs for each card
in group 5.
USING THE PATH COMMAND
[OFF…..P]: sets path
This command will set the path for the output,
but it is not active until the switch command is
executed, [SW]. Commands ending in "P" are
not executed immediately. The path for outputs
on multiple cards or the same card can be
preloaded.
Command Format: [OFFmCnP]
m = Output number (m =# from 1 to 6)
n = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
P = Path
Example:
There is an MT103-103 in slot 2 (C2) and
another MT103-103 in slot 4 (C4). In order to
disable Output 1 of C2 and Output 3 of C4
simultaneously, use the following commands:
[OFF1C2P]
[OFF3C4P]
[SW]
16. […P] – Path
This command will set the path for the output,
but it is not active until the switch command,
[SW], is executed. Commands ending in "P" are
not executed immediately. The path for outputs
on multiple cards or the same card can be
loaded. See examples in ON and OFF
commands.
17. [SW] – Switch
The switch command immediately connects
inputs and outputs, which were previously set
with the path command on this card and all
other cards in the enclosure.
ID COMMANDS
The default card ID is the same as the card slot
number. The next several commands allow the
user to change the card ID to a value other than the
slot number. Once the ID is changed, moving the
card to another slot will not change the card ID. If a
card in slot 4 is set to ID 1, then moved to slot 10,
its ID will remain 1. The [RSI] command forces
each installed card to take its slot number as its ID
number, regardless of the slot in which it is
installed.
Some cards require more than one slot in the
MultiTasker system. As an example, some matrix
switcher cards require 4 slots. If 5 of these cards
are installed, they would be numbered C4, C8,
C12, C16, and C20. Changing the ID allows the
user to define the cards as C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5.
Another use for changing the card ID is to be able
to use multiple systems without having to set each
unit to a different unit ID. All systems may be left as
unit ID 0 for ease of programming. The cards in the
first unit may be numbered 1-10 and in the second
unit 11-20.
