Ramptime = 16 Seconds, Test, Memory is Good

MULTI-TASKER™

Command Format: [RAMP=xCnUi]

x	=	Rate in Seconds
		4	= 0.25 seconds/step
		6	= 0.38 seconds /step
		8	= 0.50 seconds /step
		10	= 0.63 seconds /step
		12	= 0.75 seconds /step
		14	= 0.88 seconds /step
		16	= 1.00 seconds /step
		18	= 1.13 seconds /step
Cn	= Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Ui	=	Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9)

Example:

There is an MT109-102in slot #5. Send the command [RAMP=16C5] to set the ramp rate to 16 seconds. After this is set, any ramping will occur at a rate of 16 steps in 16 seconds, or 1 second per step. Confirm the setting by sending the command [RAMPC5] and receiving the feedback:

RAMPTIME = 16 SECONDS

28.[TEST]

This command performs a test on the internal memory. Upon completion, the system will display the results. If there are no problems, the system will display the following:

MEMORY IS GOOD

Otherwise, failures will be indicated.

Command Format: [TESTCnUi]

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

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

Example:

There is an MT109-102in slot #10. In order to test the internal memory, send the command [TESTC10].

29.[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)

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 [FBD1C4] to slow down the rate at which the card sends feedback to the system.

CARD 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.

The ID commands work with all Multi-Tasker™ Front Panel systems. However, front panels that have firmware releases prior to the following will not be able to address Card ID's 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.

NOTE: In MTSetup™, send the command [VER] from the Terminal Window. The system will respond with feedback similar to the following:

[690-0122-015 690-0123-005 690-0124-019]

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