MULTI-TASKER™
400-0202-002 12
The feedback will be a "1" immediately following
the command sent:
[SIGC4] 1
[SIGC4] = command sent
1 = feedback, signal is present
14. [CLR]
This command clears the card, restoring the
default settings. In this case, Input 1 ON.
Command Format: [CLRCnUi]
Cn = Group ID (n = # from max slots)
Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0-9)
Example:
To clear the card in slot #4, send the [CLRC4]
command. This command resets the card in slot
#4 to its default.
15. [TEST]
This command performs a test on the internal
memory. The system will display the results. If
there are no problems, the system will display:
MEMORY IS GOOD
Otherwise, failures will be indicated.
Command Format: [TESTCnUi]
Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)
Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9)
Example:
There is an MT104-106 in slot #4. Test the
internal memory by sending the command
[TESTC4].
16. [FBD]
This command turns feedback delay on or off. It
is necessary when installing some newer cards
in older 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: [FBDmCnUi]
m = Delay (0= no delay, 1= delay 100mS)
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Ui = Unit ID (i = from 0 to 9)
Example:
The command [HELPC4] is sent to the card in
slot #4. Some of the HELP file is displayed on
the screen, but most is missing. Send the
command [FBD1C4] to slow down the rate at
which the card sends feedback to the system.
CARD 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.
The ID commands work with all Multi-Tasker™
Front Panel systems. However, front panels
that have firmware releases prior to the
following will not be able to address Card ID's
greater than the number of slots in the system:
690-0122-019= Version 019 or later.
690-0123-005= Version 005 or later.
690-0124-019= Version 019 or later.
NOTE: In MTSetup™, send the command
[VER] from the Terminal Window. The system
will respond with feedback similar to the
following:
[690-0122-015 690-0123-005 690-0124-019]
Check the last three digits against the numbers
above to determine if the Card ID commands
can address all 99 Card ID's.
Some cards require more than one slot in the
Multi-Tasker™ system. As an example, some
matrix switcher cards require 4 slots. If there
are 5 of these cards installed, they would be
numbered C4, C8, C12, C16 and C20.
Changing the Card ID allows the user to define
the cards as C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5.
