In Application Diagram, DIAGRAM 4, on page 8, the Master is set to accept 7 external inputs and 1 internal input. The Expansion card has 8 external inputs (inputs
For example, if the Master is in slot 1 and the Expansion card is in slot 2, select inputs using the following commands:
To select input 1: [ON1C1]
2:[ON2C1]
...
7:[ON7C1]
To select input 8: [ON8C1] [ON1C2]
9:[ON8C1] [ON2C2]
...
15:[ON8C1] [ON8C2]
Step 2. Turn off power to the MultiTasker system and disconnect from AC power.

1.Square brackets “[ ]” are part of the command.
2.Use uppercase letters for all commands.
The cards in a MultiTasker system are capable of performing various functions, as well as providing feedback to the user or control system. Commands instruct a card to perform actions or request information from the card. Some commands do both simultaneously.
A command that instructs the card only to perform an action will generate feedback of “[ ]”. The open bracket immediately followed by a close bracket indicates the card received a valid
command. If the command requested information from the card, the feedback generated by the card is the acknowledgement of having received a valid command. Invalid commands generate feedback of “[ERR001]”.
After processing a command, an “OK” or [ERR001] will be returned as feedback if ‘F’ is included at the end of a command string.
Commands ending in ‘S’ will be saved into memory. Commands not ending in ‘S’ will still be executed, but will not be restored when the system is reset or powered off, then on.
