12. [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.
13. [SID+n]
This command sets the Card ID of all the cards
in a system to their slot number plus the offset
value.
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. For example, in an 8
slot enclosure, the maximum offset would
be 91. The slot number, 8, plus the offset,
91, equals 99.
Example:
There are two, 20 slot enclosures to be
connected together during normal operation.
The first unit will use the Card ID defaults which
are equal to their slot numbers. The second unit
will have the same Unit ID, but will have the
card ID's offset by 20.
Connect the computer to the second unit only
and send the command [SID+20] to set the ID
of all the cards in the enclosure to their slot
number plus 20. Reconnect both units to the
computer.
The cards in the first unit will be referenced as
Card ID's 1-20 and the cards in the second unit
will be referenced by Card ID's 21-40.
14. [RSN]
This command reads the slot number of the
card with a specified ID number, and returns the
value to the system to be displayed in the
terminal window. If more than one card has the
same ID, each slot number will be displayed.
Command Format: [RSNCi]
Ci = Card ID (i = # from 1 to 99)
Example:
The card in slot #4 takes up four slots in the
enclosure. Its ID was set to 1 since it is the first
card installed in the system, reading from left to
right. Send the command [RSNC1] to find the
slot number of this card. The system responds
with the following feedback:
[4]
15. [WAIT]
This command causes the control to delay
processing commands for a defined interval.
Command Format: [WAITmCnUi]
m = Multiples of 0.1sec (m = 01 to 99)
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Ui = Unit ID (i = from 0 to 9)
Example:
Many commands are begin sent to the card in
slot #4. Delay 0.3 seconds after issuing several
commands, and then continue with issuing more
commands. Send the command [WAIT03C4].
16. [RDIO]
This command reads and displays the status of
the I/O ports. Each port status is a "1" or a "0".
The port displayed on the left is Port 1 and Port
24 is on the right.
0 = Port is OFF
1 = Port is ON
Command Format: [RDIOkCnUi]
k = I/O port number (1 to 24, or * for all)
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9)
