MULTITASKER

FEEDBACK CONTROL

The next commands are a function of both the card and the front panel and allow flexibility over when and how card information is displayed.

8.[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: [FBDm]

m = Delay (0= no delay, 1= delay 100mS) Example:

The command [HELPC4] is sent to the card in slot 4. 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.

9.[?]

This command will return general information about the MultiTasker and cards installed in the unit.

Command Format: [?Ui]

Ui = Unit ID (i = from 0 to 9)

Example:

A MultiTasker with unit ID 1 has a front panel with part number MT101-101 and contains an MT103-122 and MT115-111. Send the command [?U1] and receive the following:

[(MT101-101U1)(MT103-122C01) (MT115-111C04)]

MT101-101U1 = Panel number/unit ID MT103-122C01 = MT103-122 is in slot 1 MT115-111C04 = MT115-111 is in slot 4

10.[?C]

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

Command Format: [?Cn]

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

Example:

The MT115-111in slot 4 has Inputs 1 and 2 set to their default values. Send the command [?C4] to receive feedback similar to the following.

[(MT115-111C04) (VR690-0231-001C04) (GN0404C04) (EQ3232C04)]

All feedback is enclosed in square brackets. Each data field in the status is in parentheses. The first two characters identify the status type and the last three are the card’s ID.

The equalization levels are displayed for both Input 1 and Input 2 as well. The first 2 digits are the setting for Input 1 and the last 2 digits are the setting for Input 2. In this case, both are set to a level of 32 out of 64.
