MULTITASKER

18.[SIDn]

This command sets all the cards installed in the MultiTasker system to the same card ID. After sending this command, all cards will be addressed with the same ID. Use caution when sending this command to a system with multiple board types.

Command Format: [SIDn]

n= Card ID (n = # from 1 to 99) Example:

Send the command [SID1] to the system. All the cards in the system now have ID 1. Any commands that are sent to card ID 1 will be received and executed by each card.

19.[SIDnCi]

This command sets the card ID of a single card to a number from 1 to 99.

Command Format: [SIDnCi]

n

= Card ID (n = # from 1 to 99)

Ci

= Slot Number (i = # from 1 to max slots)

Example:

Send the command [SID50C10] to set the ID of the card in slot 10 to an ID of 50.

20.[SID+]

This command sets the card ID of all the cards in a system to their slot number plus the offset value.

Command Format: [SID+n]

n= Offset amount (n = # from 0 to 99) The maximum card ID is 99, so subtract the highest slot number from 99 to find the maximum offset. For example, in an 8-slot enclosure, the maximum offset would be 91. The slot number (8) plus the offset (91) equals 99.

Example:

There are two 20-slot enclosures to be connected together during normal operation. The first unit will use the default IDs where the card ID is equal to the slot number. The second unit will have the same unit ID, but each card ID will be offset by 20.

Connect the computer to the second unit only and send the command [SID+20] to set the ID of all the cards in the second enclosure to their slot number plus 20. Reconnect both units to the computer.

The cards in the first unit will be referenced as card IDs 1-20 and the cards in the second unit will be referenced by card IDs 21-40.

21.[RSN]

This command displays the slot number of a card with a specified ID number. If more than one card has the same ID, each slot number will be displayed.

Command Format: [RSNCi]

Ci = Card ID (i = # from 1 to 99)

Example:

The card in slot 4 takes up four slots in the enclosure. Its ID was set to 1 since it is the first card installed in the system, reading from left to right. Send the command [RSNC1] to find the slot number of this card. The system responds with the following feedback:

[4]

22.[HELP]

This command displays information available for the MultiTasker interface commands.

Command Format: [HELPCn]

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

Example:

Display the RS-232 commands available for the MT103-123in slot 4 by sending [HELPC4]. The commands along with a brief description will be displayed in the Terminal Window.
