MULTITASKER

7.[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: [FBDm]

m = Delay (0= no delay, 1= delay 100mS) 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 [FBD1] to slow down the rate at which the card sends feedback to the system.

8.[?]

This command will return general information about the MultiTasker and cards installed in the unit.

Command Format: [?Ui]

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

Example:

A MultiTasker with unit ID 1 has a front panel with part number MT101-101 and contains an MT103-122, MT103-123, and MT106-103. Send the command [?U1] and receive the following feedback:

[(MT101-101U1)(MT103-122C01) (MT103-123C02)(MT106-103C04)]

MT101-101U1 = Panel model number/unit ID MT103-122C01 = MT103-122 is in slot 1 MT103-123C02 = MT103-123 is in slot 2 MT106-103C04 = MT106-103 is in slot 4

9.[?C]

This command will display general information about the card and its status.

Command Format: [?Cn]

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

Example:

The MT106-103in slot 4 has the S-Video input selected with an output resolution set to 1024x768. Send the command [?C4] to receive feedback status similar to the following.

[(MT106-103C04)(VR690-0187-006C04) (IN00C04)(RS03C04)(BR24C04)(CN40C04) (CL24C04)(SH10C04)(HU00C04)(CF0C04) (NR1C04)(AR1C04)(FZ0C04)]

All status feedback is enclosed in brackets, “[ ]“. Each data field within the status is enclosed in parentheses. The first two characters identify the status type and the last three the card’s ID.

The IN status line is a 2-digit number representing inputs 00-03 from the [IN] command. The RS line reads the resolution setting 0-9 from the [MODER] command.

The next 5 lines are the image settings for brightness, contrast, color, sharpness, and hue. The last 2 digits in each line show the actual value.

The last 4 lines give the status of the remaining output image settings. These features are either on or off and do not have numerical values. A “1” will be displayed if the feature is on; a “0” will be displayed if the feature is off.
