MULTI-TASKER Application 2: Internal View of the MT VGA DA Expansion Cards 5
MULTI-TASKER Application 3: RGBHV Switching Use the MT103-104/(109)(110) card for RGBHV signals to display more than 6 monitors. You need one MT103-104/(109)(110) Expansion card and one MT103-102/(103) MT VGA DA card.
MULTI-TASKER Application 4: Connection of MT103-102/103 to MT103-104/109/110 7
MULTI-TASKER computer control system or any other device capable of sending RS-232 commands. INSTALLING YOUR MT VGA DA EXPANSION CARD 6 7.2 RS-232 INTERFACE Step 1. Connect the 10-pin IDC cable from the MT VGA DA Card (MT103-103/102) to the control port, P3 of the MT103-104/(109)(110) (see Application 4). Note this connection will provide RGBHV to the MT103-104/(109)(110) . The RS-232 commands for the MT103-104 are in a simple ASCII character format. Step 2.
MULTI-TASKER without Ui (use command [SETU0] ; see user’s guide for the MT100-100). If there is no card in slot #2 of unit 3, there will be no feedback. Example: 3. [CiS] [VERC3]: for unit ID zero [VERC3Ui]: for unit ID other than zero [VERC3]: equivalent to [VERC3U0] This command saves the current status of the card's input to output configuration. This configuration will be restored after system is reset or powered off then on. 1.
MULTI-TASKER To enable output 1 of card 6 and output 3 of card 7 simultaneously, use the following commands: Example: 1) [ON12C5U3]: Turns ON only outputs 1 and 2 of the MT103-104 card located in slot #5 of the MT100-100 Enclosure with unit ID3. 2) [ON1C6U3P] [ON3C7U3P] [SW] [ON3C5U3]: Turns ON only output 3 of the MT103-104 card located in slot #5 of the MT100-100 Enclosure with unit ID3. After the [ON12C5U3] and [ON3C5U3] commands have been executed, outputs 1, 2 and 3 will be ON.
MULTI-TASKER end of a command string or if the unit ID is zero. [OFFmGkUiS]: for a group of cards This command disables output "m" for each card in group "k" of unit "i". Example: m = card output (m = # from 1-6) [OFF1C2U3F]: if path is not set [OFF1C2U3PF]: if path is set Gk = group number (k = # from 1-9) Ui = unit number (i = # from 0-9) 7. […S] – Save S = saves command to memory This command will save the configuration command being sent in memory.
MULTI-TASKER Example: (1-8 for MT100-101 or 1-4 for MT100-106) To group cards #1, 2, and 3 as group 5 of unit #1, send the command [WRC1C2C3G5U1]. After executing this command, cards 1, 2, and 3 of unit 1 will be grouped as group 5. Example: To read member data for group 1 of unit 1, send the [RD] command. The system will return feedback as C1C2C3 G5U1. 12. [CLR] 15. [HELP] This command clears the members for a single group or for all nine groups.
MULTI-TASKER TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Solution 2: Take any other known good card with an LED and verify that the slot used is good by seeing if the other card’s LED lights in that slot. If it lights, then the original card may be the source of the problem. Call ALTINEX at (714) 990-2300. 8 We have carefully tested and have found no problems in the supplied MT103-104/(109)(110) ; however, we would like to offer suggestions for the following: 8.
MULTI-TASKER Cause 2: The card output is turned OFF. ALTINEX POLICY Solution 1: Turn ON the card output that is used. See RS-232 accessible commands in section 7. If no display is present, see Cause 3. Cause 3: Cable connections to destination are incorrect. Solution: Make sure that cables are connected properly. Also, make sure that the continuity and wiring are good. If there is still no display present, see Cause 4. Cause 4: 9 9.
