MULTI-TASKER™

Example:

There are two, 20 slot enclosures to be connected together during normal operation. The first unit will use the Card ID defaults which are equal to their slot numbers. The second unit will have the same Unit ID, but will have the card ID's offset by 20.

Connect the computer to the second unit only and send the command [SID+20] to set the ID of all the cards in the enclosure to their slot number plus 20. Reconnect both units to the computer.

The cards in the first unit will be referenced as Card ID's 1-20 and the cards in the second unit will be referenced by Card ID's 21-40.

22.[RSN]

This command reads the slot number of the card with a specified ID number, and returns the value to the system to be displayed in the terminal window. If more than one card has the same ID, each slot number will be displayed.

Command Format: [RSNCi]

Ci = Card ID (i = # from 1 to 99)

Example:

The card in slot #4 takes up four slots in the enclosure. Its ID was set to 1 since it is the first card installed in the system, reading from left to right. Send the command [RSNC1] to find the slot number of this card. The system responds with the following feedback:

4

23.[HELP]

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

Command Format: [HELPCnUi]

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

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

400-0082-005

15

Example:

In order to display the RS-232 commands available for the MT104-100/103card in slot #2, send the command [HELPC2]. The commands along with a brief description will be displayed in the Terminal Window.

24.[WR]

This command groups multiple cards in the enclosure allowing all the group members to be controlled simultaneously with the same command. Each unit may define a maximum of eight groups.

In Multi-Tasker™ systems with audio and video cards, boards are typically grouped as follows:

Group 1 = Video Cards

Group 2 = Audio Cards

Group 3 = Video and Audio Cards

If assigning group commands to button functions, it is best to use the "Press and Hold on Power Up" to make group settings.

Command Format: [WRCn1Cn2…GkUi]

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

Gk = Group number (k = # from 1-8)

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

Example:

To group cards 1, 2, and 3 as group 5 of

Unit ID 1, send the command [WRC1C2C3G5U1]. After executing this command, cards 1, 2 and 3 will be grouped together as group 5 of Unit ID 1. The system will return the following feedback:

G1=C1C2C3

Now, when a command is sent to G1, each board in G1 will execute the same command.

25.[RMC]

This command may be used to remove one or more group members from a group. Reset the system after using this command for all changes to take effect.
