14. …S Save, Test, Fbd, Rsi | Altinex MT103-123 manual

MULTITASKER

14.[…S] – Save

This command will save the configuration command being sent in memory. When sending the command [EQ=10C4S], after reset or power-up, the equalization level on C4 will be set to 10.

15.[TEST]

This command performs a series of tests on the internal memory. The system will display the results and report any failures. If there are no problems, the system will display the following:

MEMORY IS GOOD

Command Format: [TESTCn]

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

Example:

Test the internal memory of the MT103-123in slot 4 by sending the command [TESTC4].

16.[FBD]

This command turns feedback delay on or off and 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: [FBDmCn]

m= Delay (0= no delay, 1= delay 100mS) Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots) Example:

The command [HELPC10] is sent to the card in slot 10. Some of the HELP file is displayed on the screen, but most is missing. Send the command [FBD1] to slow down the rate at which the card sends feedback to the system.

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. 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. The [RSI] command forces each installed card to take its slot number as its ID number, regardless of the slot in which it is installed.

Some cards require more than one slot in the MultiTasker system. As an example, some matrix switcher cards require 4 slots. If 5 of these cards are installed, they would be numbered C4, C8, C12, C16, and C20. Changing the 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.

17.[RSI]

This command resets the card IDs in the system. After sending this command, each card ID in the system will match the slot number of the card. If the card is moved to another slot, its ID number will be the new slot number.

Command Format: [RSI]

Example:

Send the command [RSI] to the system with Unit ID 0. The card in slot 1 will have ID 1, the card in slot 2 will have ID 2, and so on. If the card in slot 1 is then moved to slot 4, the card ID will then be 4.
