If 2 cards are in slots 6 and 7 of unit 3:

To disable outputs 1 and 2 of card 6 and outputs 3 and 4 of card 7 simultaneously, use the following commands:

[OFF12C6U3P] [OFF34C7U3P] [SW]

If "F" is included use the [OFFmCnUiPF] command or the [OFFmCnUiFP] command.

[OFF…..F]: feedback

After processing a command, an OK ER will be returned as feedback if "F" is included at the end of a command string.

Example:

[OFF1C2U3F]: if path is not set

[OFF1C2U3PF]: if path is set

7.[…S] – Save

This command will save the configuration

command being sent in memory. When sending the command [ON1C4S], after reset or power up, output 1 on C4 will be enabled.

8.[…F] – Feedback

After processing a command, an OK or ER will be returned as feedback if "F" is included at the end of a command string.

9.[…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 loaded. See examples in ON and OFF commands.

10.[SW] – Switch

The switch command immediately connects inputs and outputs, which were previously set with the PATH command on this card and all other cards in the MT100-100.
