MULTITASKER INSTALLING YOUR MT105-110/111 The cards in a MultiTasker are capable of performing various functions, as well as providing feedback to the user or control system. Commands instruct a card to perform specific actions or request information from the card. Some commands do both simultaneously. 6 Step 1. Turn off power to the MultiTasker system and disconnect from AC power. Step 2.
MULTITASKER The card ID is a unique identifier. It is equal to the enclosure slot number, or it may be an assigned value. As the slot number, the value can range from 1-4 up to 1-20 depending on the enclosure. If the value is assigned, the ID may be a maximum of 99. Card ID 0 (C0) is used for the controller and cannot be reassigned. BASIC COMMANDS 1. [VER] This command displays the card’s model number, firmware version, and ID number.
MULTITASKER 3. [CnS] 5. [HELP] This command saves the status of the card into memory. The input-to-output connections and output status of each output will be recalled at reset or power-up. This command displays information available for the MultiTasker interface commands.
MULTITASKER 7. [?] The ON/OFF status line is read from left to right as Outputs 1-8. A "1" indicates the output is on and a "0" indicates the output is off. This command will return general information about the MultiTasker and cards installed in the unit. The I/O connections are also read left to right representing Outputs 1-8 and the input to which each is connected. The first two digits show the input number to which Output 1 is connected. The third and forth digits are for Output 2 and so on.
MULTITASKER 14. [ON] CARD CONTROL COMMANDS This command will enable an output of a single card, or a group of cards. 11. [ImOx] This command connects a single input to a single output. SINGLE CARD OPERATION Command Format: [ImOxCn] Command Format: [ONmCn] m = Input no. (m= # from 1 to max inputs) m x = Output no. (x = # from 1 to 8) Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots) = Output no.
MULTITASKER Example: PATH OPERATION There are two MT105-110 cards, C6 and C7. Enable Output 1 of C6 and Output 3 of C7 simultaneously. To do this, send the following commands: This command will set the path for the output, but it is not active until the switch command, [SW], is executed. Commands ending in "P" are not executed immediately. The path for outputs on multiple cards or the same card may be preloaded. [ON1C6P] [ON3C7P] [SW] Command Format: [OFFmCnP] 15.
MULTITASKER 20. [MATmXy] Example: There is an MT105-110 in slot 4. Currently, Input 1 is connected to all outputs and all outputs are on. The PATH command has been used to set Input 2 to Output 1 and turn off Output 2 and Output 3 at the same time. If checking the status prior to sending the [SW] command, the feedback will appear as follows for the above connection settings: This matrix command allows the matrix switcher to be setup for different matrix sizes.
MULTITASKER 21. [RSI] ID COMMANDS 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. 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.
MULTITASKER 24. [SID+] GROUP COMMANDS This command sets the card ID of all the cards in a system to their slot number plus an offset. Group commands allow several cards with the same functions to be controlled simultaneously with a single command. Up to 8 groups (G1-G8) may be defined. These commands apply to all cards, not only the MT105-110. Command Format: [SID+n] n = Offset amount (n = # from 0 to 99) The maximum card ID is 99, so subtract the highest slot number from 99 to find the maximum offset.
MULTITASKER 28. [RMG] Feedback Commands This command deletes one or all groups. 6) [FBD] Feedback delay on/off Command Format: [RMGk] 7) [?] Display system cards Gk = Group ID (k = # from 1-8, * for all) 8) [?C] Display card information Example: 9) [STA1] Auto-feedback on Remove all cards from G52 by sending [RMG5].
