Altinex MT105-120/121 manual Sta, Multi-Tasker

MULTI-TASKER™

Check the last three digits against the numbers above to determine if the MENU MODE 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 MT105-120in slot #4 has Input 1 connected to all outputs and all outputs turned 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:

[+MT105-120C04+VR690-0170-003C04 +ON11111111C04+MA0101010101010101C04 +SI10000000C04+SO11111111C04]

MT105-120	= Card Type
VR690-0170-003	= Firmware version
ON11111111	= Output ON/OFF status
MA01010101010101	= Matrix I/O connections
SI10000000	= Input Signal Detect
SO11111111	= Output Signal Detect

The ON/OFF line is read from left to right, outputs one through eight. A "1" indicates the output is ON, a "0" indicates the output is OFF.

The I/O connections are also read left to right representing outputs one through eight and the input to which each is connected. The first two digits are the input to which Out 1 is connected.

The Signal Detects read left to right in increasing order as well. The Input Signal Detect shows Input 1 has an active signal at the input, but inputs 2 thru 7 do not. The Output Signal Detect shows all 1's indicating there is an output signal present on all the output connectors since Input 1 is connected to all outputs and the outputs are enabled.

5.[STA]

This command enables and disables automatic feedback from the front panel. The command affects any card with auto-feedback capability, not just the MT105-120/121. The default at power on or reset is STA0, OFF.

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

Feedback Prefix Definitions: +VR = Firmware Version +MA = Matrix Connections

+ON = Output ON/OFF Status

+SI = Input Signal Detect

+SO = Output Signal Detect

Example 1:
Command =	[I1O1C4]
Feedback =	[+MA0103010101010101C04]
+MA	=	Matrix
01030101010101 =		Output Connections
C04	=	Card slot number

Reading from left to right, the first two digits represent the input number connected to Output 1. In this case, Input 1 to Output 1. The next two digits are for Output 2. In this case, Output 2 is connected to Input 3. The remaining Outputs are all connected to Input 1.

Example 2:
Command =	[ON1C4]
Feedback =	[+ON1000000C04]
+ON	=	Output Status
1000000	= Outputs ON and OFF
C04	=	Card slot number

Reading from left to right, the first digit represents the status of Output 1. A "1" indicates ON and a "0" indicates OFF. In this case, Output 1 is ON and the remaining Outputs, 2-8, are OFF.
