3. [CnS]
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.
Command Format: [CnS]
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
Save the settings for the MT105-110 in slot 4 by
sending [C4S]. The feedback will be similar to
the following:
Matrix:16X8
In01-Out1 OFF
In01-Out2 OFF
In01-Out3 OFF
In01-Out4 OFF
In01-Out5 OFF
In01-Out6 OFF

In01-Out8 OFF
[SAVEDC04]
The status will be displayed first followed by the
text “[SAVED]” as in the above example.
4. [TEST]
This command performs a series of tests on the
internal memory. Upon completion, the system
will display the results.
Command Format: [TESTCn]
Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
There is an MT105-110 in slot 4. In order to test
the internal memory, send the command
[TESTC4]. If all components are functioning
normally, the feedback will be similar to the
follow:
MEMORY IS GOOD
NOTE: If any tests failed, the failure results
would be displayed.
5. [HELP]
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 MT105-110 card in slot 4, send
the command [HELPC4]. The commands along
with a brief description will be displayed.
FEEDBACK COMMANDS
The next several commands are a function of
both the card and the front panel and are only
available with MultiTasker Front Panel systems
that have the following firmware:
690-0122-015 = Version 015 or later.
690-0123-004 = Version 004 or later.
690-0124-018 = Version 018 or later.
Send the command [VER] to the system and the
feedback will include the following:
690-0122-015 690-0123-004 690-0124-018
Check the last three digits against the numbers
above to determine if the option is available.
6. [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.
