MULTITASKER

7.2 DESCRIPTION OF COMMANDS

Each command consists of three parts: Function, Card ID, and Unit ID.

[ Function , Card ID , Unit ID ]

Example: [VERC3U2]

VER = Function

C3 = Card ID or Group ID

U2 = Unit ID (optional for Unit ID 0)

For Function, see a detailed explanation under each command description.

The card ID is a unique identifier. It is equal to the enclosure slot number, or it may be an assigned value. As the slot number, the value can range from 1-4 up to 1-20 depending on the enclosure. If the value is assigned, the ID may be a maximum of 99. Card ID 0 (C0) is used for the controller and cannot be reassigned.

The group ID is a number representing a group of cards defined with the [WR] command. When using the group ID, all cards in the group will perform the given instruction.

NOTE: In this guide, cards are referenced by their IDs (C1, C2...C99). Typically, the ID number will be equivalent to the slot number. Groups will be referenced by their IDs (G1-G8).

Changing the position of a card will significantly affect the commands recorded on software definitions or third-party control systems.

The unit ID has a range from U0 to U20. U0 should be used for single unit operation. If the ID is set to U0, each command may be used without Ui. Use the command [SETU0], as explained in the MT101-101 User’s Guide.

Example:

[VERC3]: For U0

[VERC3Ui]: For ID other than U0

[VERC3]: Equivalent to [VERC3U0]

COMMANDS

1.[VER]

This command displays the software version and card type for the MT103-123card.

Command Format: [VERCn]

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

An MT103-123card is in slot 4. Send the command [VERC4] and the system will return the following feedback:

[MT103-123 690-0197-005 C04] MT103-123 = model number

690-0197-005 = software version

C04

= card ID

2.[C]

This command displays the status of the card. Command Format: [Cn]

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

There is one MT103-123card in slot 4. Sending the command [C4] to the MultiTasker will yield the following feedback:

ON, EQ=0 C04

ON

= output is on

EQ=0

= equalization is zero

C04

= card ID

If there is no card in slot 4, sending the command [C4] will not return any feedback.

3.[CnS]

This command saves the card settings and displays the status. After the system is reset or powered off and then back on, the card restores the saved settings.

Cn = Card ID

S = Save configuration
