MULTITASKER
GROUP OPERATION
This command disables output "m" for each card in group "k".
Command Format: [OFFmGk]
m= Output no. (m = # from
1.[OFF1G1]: Turns off Output 1 for each card in G1.
2.[OFFG1]: Turns off all outputs for each card in G1.
PATH OPERATION
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 may be preloaded.
Command Format: [OFFmCnP]
m = Output no. (m = # from 1 to 4)
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
P= Path
Example:
There are two
[OFF1C6P]
[OFF3C7P]
[SW]
16.[…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.
17.[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:
[ON1C6P]
[OFF3C7P]
[SW]
ID COMMANDS
The default card ID is the same as the card slot number. The next several commands allow the user to change the card ID to a value other than the slot number. Once the ID is changed, moving the card to another slot will not change the card ID. If a card in slot 4 is set to ID 1, then moved to slot 10, its ID will remain 1. The [RSI] command forces each installed card to take its slot number as its ID number, regardless of the slot in which it is installed.
Some cards require more than one slot in the MultiTasker system. As an example, some matrix switcher cards require 4 slots. If 5 of these cards are installed, they would be numbered C4, C8, C12, C16, and C20. Changing the ID allows the user to define the cards as C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5.
Another use for changing the card ID is to be able to use multiple systems without having to set each unit to a different unit ID. All systems may be left as unit ID 0 for ease of programming. The cards in the first unit may be numbered
18.[RSI]
This command resets the card IDs in the system. After sending this command, each card ID in the system will match the slot number of the card. If the card is moved to another slot, its ID number will be the new slot number.
