MULTI-TASKER™

Example:

A Multi-Tasker™ has a front panel with part number MT101-101 and contains an MT104-100. Send the command [?] and receive the following feedback:

[+MT101-101U0+MT104-100C01]

MT101-101U01 = Panel Number and Unit ID

MT104-100C01 = An MT104-100 is in slot 1

5.[?Cn]

This command will return general information about the card and its status. It is a function of both the card and the front panel and is only available with Multi-Tasker™ Front Panel systems that have the following firmware:

690-0122-015 = Version 015 or later.

690-0123-004 = Version 004 or later.

690-0124-018 = Version 018 or later.

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

[690-0122-015 690-0123-004 690-0124-018]

Check the last three digits against the numbers above to determine if the option is available.

Command Format: [?CnUi]

Cn

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

Ui

= Unit ID (i = from 0 to 9)

Example:

The MT104-100 in slot #4 has Input 4 selected and the output is ON. Send the command [?C4] to receive the feedback status.

Each status field begins with a '+' and ends with the card slot number (ex: C04). The feedback will be similar to the following:

[+MT104-100C04+VR690-0158-004C04+IN4C04]

MT104-100

= Card Type

VR690-0158-004

= Firmware version

IN4

= Input 4 Selected

400-0082-005

10

The selected input shows the number of the selected input if the card output is on. If the output is off, the line will not show any input number and would be as follows:

+INC04

6.[STA]

This command enables/disables automatic feedback from the front panel. The command affects any card with auto-feedback capability, not just the MT104-100/103. The default at power on or reset is STA0, OFF.

Command Format [STA1] = ON Command Format [STA0] = OFF

Feedback Prefix Definitions: +VR = Firmware Version +IN = Input Selected

Example:

Command = [ON1C4]

Feedback = [+IN1C04]

+IN = Input Select

1= Selected Input

C04 = Card slot number

7.[ON]

This command enables one input of a single card or a group of cards. There are 8 inputs for the MT104-100 and 6 inputs for the MT104-103. On the MT104-100, Inputs 7 and 8 are internal inputs.

[ONmCnUi]: Single Card

This command enables input “m” and disables all other inputs.

m= Input Number (m = 1 to max inputs) Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)

Ui = Unit ID (i = 0 to 9)
