MULTITASKER™

41.[HELP]

This command displays information available for the MultiTasker interface commands.

Command Format: [HELPCnUi]

Cn	= card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Ui	= Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9)

Example:

Display the RS-232 commands available for the MT109-100card in slot 4 be sending [HELPC4]. The commands along with a brief description will be displayed in the Terminal Window.

GROUP COMMANDS

The next few commands are group commands. The use of groups allows several boards, with the same functions, to be controlled simultaneously with a single command. These commands apply to all cards, not only the MT109-100.

42.[WR]

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.

In systems with audio and video cards, the cards are typically grouped as follows:

Group 1 = Video Cards

Group 2 = Audio Cards

Group 3 = Video and Audio Cards

Command Format: [WRCn1Cn2…GkUi]

Cn	= Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)
Gk	= Group number (k = # from 1-8)
Ui	= Unit ID (i = # from 0-9)

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]

400-0095-005 18

Now, when a command is sent to G5, each board in G5 will execute the same command.

43.[RMC]

This command may be used to remove one or more group members from a group. Reset the system after using this command for all changes to take effect.

Command Format: [RMCn1Cn2…GkUi]

Cn	= Card ID (n= # from 1 to max slots)
Gk	= Group ID (k = # from 1-8)
Ui	= Unit ID (i = # from 0-9)

Example:

Group 5 consists of the cards located in slots numbered 2, 4, and 6. Remove just cards 4 and 6 from the group by sending the command [RMC4C6G1]. The system will return the following feedback:

[G5=C2]

44.[RMG]

This command may be used to delete an entire group, or all groups.

REMOVE A GROUP

Remove all the members from the group, effectively deleting the group.

Command Format: [RMGkUi]

Gk = Group ID (k = # from 1-8)

Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0-9)

Example:

Group 5 consists of the cards located in slots number 2, 4 and 6. Remove all cards from the group by sending the command [RMG5]. The system will return the following feedback:

[G5=0]

REMOVE ALL GROUPS

Remove all the members from every group, effectively deleting all groups.

Command Format: [RMG*Ui]

Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0-9)
