MULTITASKER
16.[GAIN=]
This command sets the gain level for an input to a value specified by the user. A gain setting of 4 is equivalent to unity gain.
Command Format: [GAINm=xCn]
m = Input # (m = 1 or 2)
x= Gain level (m = # from 1 to 11, 4 = unity) Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots) Example:
Set the gain level for Input 2 of C4 to a value of 4 by sending the command [GAIN2=4C4]. The card will respond with feedback of “[ ]” once the command is executed.
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
17.[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.
18.[SIDn]
This command sets all the cards installed in the MultiTasker system to the same card ID. After sending this command, all cards will be addressed with the same ID. Use caution when sending this command to a system with multiple board types.
Command Format: [SIDn]
n= Card ID (n = # from 1 to 99) Example:
Send the command [SID1] to the system. All the cards in the system now have ID 1. Any commands that are sent to card ID 1 will be received and executed by each card.
19.[SIDnCi]
This command sets the card ID of a single card to a number from 1 to 99.
Command Format: [SIDnCi]
n | = Card ID (n = # from 1 to 99) |
Ci | = Slot Number (i = # from 1 to max slots) |
Example:
Send the command [SID50C10] to set the ID of the card in slot 10 to an ID of 50.
