MULTITASKER
37.[RAMP=x]
This command sets the ramp rate for 32 steps. The range is from 4s to 18s, in 2s steps.
Command Format: [RAMP=xCn]
x = Rate in Seconds
4= 0.13 seconds/step
6= 0.19 seconds /step
8= 0.25 seconds /step
10= 0.31 seconds /step
12= 0.38 seconds /step
14= 0.44 seconds /step
16= 0.50 seconds /step
18= 0.56 seconds /step
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
Send the command [RAMP=16C4] to set the ramp rate to 16 seconds. Ramping will occur at a rate of 32 steps in 10 seconds, or 0.50 seconds per step. Confirm the setting by sending [RAMPC4] and receiving the feedback:
RAMP TIME = 16 SECONDS
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
38.[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.
Command Format: [RSI]
Example:
Send the command [RSI] to the system with Unit ID 0. The card in slot 1 will have ID 1, the card in slot 2 will have ID 2, and so on. If the card in slot 1 is then moved to slot 4, the card ID will then be 4.
