FEEDBACK CONTROL

The next commands are a function of both the card and the front panel and allow flexibility over when and how card information is displayed.

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.
