MULTI-TASKER™

14. [AUTO] – MT104-100 Only

This command is used to enable or disable the auto-switching feature. In auto-switch mode, the first input with a signal detected will be connected to the output. Use this where only one active source is expected at a time.

CAUTION: Auto-switch mode disables manual control of input selection.

Command Format: [AUTO=xCnUi]

x= Auto Mode (0 = Manual, 1 = Auto) Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)

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

Example:

Send the command [AUTO=1C4] to place the MT104-100in slot #4 in auto-switch mode. A status of the card, [C4], will produce feedback similar to the following:

ON 2 AUTO C04

15.[CLR]

This command resets the card configuration to the factory defaults. After the [CLR] command, Input 1 will be selected and ON.

Command Format: [CLRCnUi]

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

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

Example:

Send the command [CLRC4] to reset the card in slot #4 to its factory defaults. The feedback after sending the status command, [C4], will be as follows:

ON 1 C04

16.[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

400-0082-005

13

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 MT104-100in slot #4. In order to test the internal memory, send the command [TESTC4].

17.[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:
