Altinex MT105-120/121 manual 14. …P - PATH, 16. IO, Clr, Multi-Tasker

MULTI-TASKER™

14.[…P] – PATH

This command will set the path for the output, but it is not active until the switch command, [SW], is executed. Commands ending in "P" are not executed immediately. The path for outputs on multiple cards or the same card can be preloaded. See the examples in the ON and OFF command descriptions.

Example:

There is an MT105-120in slot #4. Currently, Input 1 is connected to all outputs and all outputs are ON. The PATH command has been used to set Input 2 to Output 1 and turn OFF Outputs 2 and 3 at the same time. If checking the status prior to sending the [SW] command, the feedback will appear as follows for the above connection settings:

In1-Out1 ON P=2

In1-Out2 ON P=OFF

In1-Out3 ON P=OFF

In1-Out4 ON

In1-Out5 ON

In1-Out6 ON

In1-Out7 ON

The notation "P=" at the end of the line indicates the path condition is active. "P=2" on the Output 1 line indicates that after the [SW] command, Input 2 will be connected to Output 1.

The notation "P=OFF" on lines 2 and 3 indicates that Outputs 2 and 3 will be turned OFF after the [SW] command is executed.

15. [SW] – SWITCH

This command immediately connects inputs and outputs previously set with the PATH command. The command switches all paths set on this card and all other cards in the enclosure.

Example:

The following commands set the path for turning ON Output 1 of the card in slot #6 and turning OFF Output 3 of the card in slot #7. Nothing happens until the [SW] command is sent. At that time, Output 1 will be enabled and Output 3 will be disabled.

[ON1C6P]

[OFF3C7P]

[SW]

16.[IO]

This command will connect a single input with one or all outputs. It will not effect the ON/OFF status of the output.

Command Format: [IxOyCnUi]

x = Input (x = # from 1 to max inputs)

y = Output (y = # from 1 to max, or [ for all)

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

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

Example:

An MT105-120is in slot #4 Connect Input 1 to all outputs by sending the command [I1O[C4]. After the command is sent, Input 1 will be connected to all outputs. In order to turn ON all the outputs, send the command [ONC4].

17.[CLR]

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