31. …F Feedback, 32. …P Path, SW Switch, Test

MULTITASKER™

31.[…F] – Feedback

After processing a command, an OK or ER will be returned as feedback if "F" is included at the end of the command string.

32.[…P] – Path

This command sets the path for the output, but is not active until the switch command, [SW], is executed. Commands ending in "P" are not executed immediately. The path for outputs on one or more cards can be preloaded. See the [SW] command for details.

33.[SW] – Switch

The switch command immediately connects inputs and/or outputs, which were previously set with the path command on this card and all other cards in the system.

Example:

There is an MT109-100in slot 2 and another MT109-100in slot 3. Switch C2 to Input 1 at the same time a switching C3 to Input 4 by sending the following commands:

[ON1C2P] [ON4C3P] [SW]

34.[TEST]

This command performs a series of tests on the internal memory.

Upon completion, the system will display "MEMORY IS GOOD" if all tests pass; otherwise, failures will be indicated.

35.[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)

400-0095-005

Example:

The command [HELPC4] is sent to the card in slot 4. Some of the data is displayed, but most is missing. Send the [FBD1C4] to slow the rate at which the card sends feedback to the system.

ID COMMANDS: RSI, SIDn, SIDnCi, SID+, RSN

The default Card ID is the card’s slot number. The next several commands allow the ID to be set 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.

Some cards require more than one slot in the MultiTasker 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.

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.

The ID commands work with all MultiTasker Front Panel systems. However, front panels that have firmware releases prior to the following will not be able to address Card IDs 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.

Send the command [VER] and verify the feedback includes the following:

690-0122-019 690-0123-005 690-0124-019

Check the last three digits against the numbers above to determine if the Card ID commands can address all 99 Card IDs.
