MULTI-TASKER

9. […F] – Feedback

After processing a command, an OK or ER will be returned as feedback if "F" is included at the end of a command string or if the unit ID is zero.

10. […P] – Path

This command will set the path for the output, but it is not active until the switch command, [SW], is executed. Commands ending in "P" are not executed immediately. The path for outputs on multiple cards or the same card can be loaded. See examples in ON and OFF commands.

11. [SW] – Switch

The switch command immediately connects inputs and outputs, which were previously set with the path command on this card or any other cards in the Enclosure.

Example:

[ON12VC6U3P]

[ON23SC7U3P]

[SW]

The system will return feedback as OK if the unit ID is zero.

12. [HELP]

This command displays all information available for user Multi-Tasker interface commands.

13. [WR]

This command groups multiple cards in the Enclosure. Each unit contains a maximum of nine groups.

Command Format: [WRCn…GkUi]

Cn = card ID No. (n = slot # from 1 to 19) (1-8 for MT100-101 or 1-4 for MT100-106)

Gk = group number (k = # from 1-9)

Ui = unit number (i = # from 0-9)

Example:

To group card #1, 2, and 3 as group 5 of unit #1, send the [WRC1C2C3G5U1] command.

After executing this command, card 1, 2, and 3 will be grouped together as group 5 of unit 1

14. [CLR]

This command clears the members for a single group or for all nine groups.

Command Format: [CLRGkUi]

Gk = group number (k = # from 1-9)

Ui = unit number (i = # from 0-9)

Example:

1)To clear group #1, send the [CLRG1U1] command. This command clears the members for the specified group only.

2)To clear all groups of unit 1, send the [CLRG[U1] command.

15.[G]

This command is used to request group data. With the command, the user can identify which input or output of a particular group is on.

Command Format: [GkUi]

Gk = group number (k = # from 1-9)

Ui = unit number (i = # from 0-9)

Example:

If group 1 has DA Cards with output 1 and 2 on, while group 2 has SW Cards with input 2 on:

[G1]: will return feedback as [On12G1].

[G2]: will return feedback as [On2G2].

16. [RD]

This command displays the members in each group.

Command Format: [RDGkUi]

Gk = group number (k = # from 1-9)

Ui = unit number (i = # from 0-9)

member = C1 - C19 (card 1 to 19)

(1-8 for MT100-101 or 1-4 for MT100-106)

Example:

To read member data for group 1 of unit 1, send the [RD] command. The system will return feedback as C1C2C19 G5U1.
