This command groups multiple cards in the enclosure allowing all the group members to be controlled simultaneously with the same command. Each MultiTasker unit may define a maximum of eight groups.

Group 3 = Video and Audio Cards

Example:
Group cards 2, 4, and 6 as Group 5 of Unit ID 1 by sending [WRC2C4C6G5U1]. After executing this command, cards 2, 4 and 6 will be grouped together as Group 5 of Unit ID 1. The system will return the following feedback:
[G5=C2C4C6]
