A MultiTasker with ID 1 has a front panel with part number MT101-101 and contains an MT103-122 and an MT103-123. Send the command [?U1] and receive the following feedback:

[(MT101-101U1)(MT103-122C03) (MT103-123C04)]

MT101-101U1 = Panel model/unit ID MT103-122C03 = An MT103-122 is in slot 3 MT103-123C04 = An MT103-123 is in slot 4

5.[?C]

This command will display general information about the card and its status.

Command Format: [?Cn]

Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots) Example:

The MT103-123in slot 4 has a software equalization value of 25 and the output is enabled. Send the command [?C4] to receive feedback status similar to the following.

[(MT103-123C04)(VR690-0197-005C04) (ONC04)(EQ25C04)(SI0C04)]

All status feedback is enclosed in brackets, “[ ]“. Each data field within the status is enclosed in parentheses. The first two characters identify the status type. The last three characters are the card’s ID.
