Command Format: [TESTCn]

Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to 99) Example:

Test the internal memory of the MT110-103in slot 4 by sending [TESTC4]. The card will respond with feedback similar to the following:

MEMORY IS GOOD

Otherwise, failures would be indicated in the feedback from the card.

This command displays information available for the MultiTasker interface commands.

Command Format: [HELPCn]

Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots) Example:

In order to display the RS-232 commands available for the MT110-103card in slot 4, send the command [HELPC4]. The commands along with a brief description will be displayed.

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.

8.[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.

[(MT101-101U1)(MT103-122C01) (MT103-123C02)(MT110-103C04)]

MT101-101U1 = Panel number/unit ID MT103-122C01 = MT103-122 is in slot 1 MT103-123C02 = MT103-123 is in slot 2 MT110-103C04 = MT110-103 is in slot 4
