These subroutines are stored directly on the
card and are separate from the commands
stored in the Front Panel. Therefore, the front
panel LED's cannot be controlled with
commands stored on the control card, but they
may be used to control other cards.
Command Format: [SUBmCnUi]
m = Subroutine (m = # from 1 to 180)
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Ui = Unit ID (i = from 0 to 9)
Example:
The function ON1C3 is stored in Subroutine 55
of the card ID 1. Send the command [SUB55C1]
and the stored function will be executed. Output
1 of card 3 will now be turned on.
28. [HELP]
This command displays information available for
the Multi-Tasker interface commands.
Command Format: [HELPCnUi]
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9)
Example:
In order to view the RS-232 commands
available for the MT112-100 card in slot #2,
send the command [HELPC2]. The commands,
along with a brief description, will be displayed
in the Terminal Window.
GROUP COMMANDS
The next commands are group commands. These
commands are not normally used with control
cards, but are provided as added information for
controlling other cards in the system.
29. [WR]
This command groups multiple cards in the
enclosure allowing all the group members to be
controlled simultaneously with the same
command. Each unit may define a maximum of
eight groups.
In Multi-Tasker™ systems with audio and video
cards, boards are typically grouped as follows:
Group 1 = Video Cards
Group 2 = Audio Cards
Group 3 = Video and Audio Cards
Command Format: [WRCn

…GkUi]
Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)
Gk = Group number (k = # from 1-8)
Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0-9)
Example:
Group cards 2, 4, and 6 as group 5 of Unit ID 1
by sending the command [WRC2C4C6G5U1].
After executing this command, cards 2, 4 and 6
will be grouped together as group 5 of Unit ID 1.
The system will return the following feedback:
[G5=C2C4C6]
Now, when a command is sent to G5, each
board in G5 will execute the same command.
30. [RMC]
This command may be used to remove one or
more group members from a group. Reset the
system after using this command for all changes
to take effect.
Command Format: [RMCn

…GkUi]
Cn = Card ID (n= # from 1 to max slots)
Gk = Group number (k = # from 1-8)
Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0-9)
Example:
Group 5 consists of the cards located in slots
numbered 2, 4, and 6. Remove just cards #4
and #6 from the group by sending the command
[RMC4C6G1]. The system will return the
following feedback:
[G5=C2]
31. [RMG]
This command may be used to delete an entire
group, or all groups.
REMOVE A GROUP
Remove all the members from the group,
effectively deleting the group.
