MULTI-TASKER™ INSTALLING YOUR MT109-102 6 OPERATION Step 1. Turn off the power to the Multi-Tasker™ enclosure. 7 7.1 RS-232 CONTROL When used in the Multi-Tasker™ Enclosure, the MT109-102 has many advanced remote control capabilities, which are accessible through standard RS-232 communication. The actual controlling can be accomplished through a computer control system or any other device capable of sending RS-232 commands. Step 2.
MULTI-TASKER™ The Group ID is a number representing a group of cards defined with the [WR] command. When using the Group ID, all cards in the group will perform the given instruction. Example: There is one MT109-102 card in slot #4. Sending the command [C4] to the Multi-Tasker™ will display feedback similar to the following: Changing the position of a card will significantly affect the commands recorded on software definitions or third party control systems.
MULTI-TASKER™ 4. [?CnUi] 5. [?Ui] This command will return general information about the card and its status. It is a function of both the card and the front panel and is only available with Multi-Tasker™ Front Panel systems that have the following firmware: 690-0122-015 690-0123-004 690-0124-018 This command will return general information about the Multi-Tasker™ and cards installed in the unit. Command Format: [?Ui] Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots) = Version 015 or later.
MULTI-TASKER™ Command Format: [SELImCnUi] 7. […S] – SAVE m This command will save the configuration command being sent in memory. When sending the command [VLBA12C4S], after reset or power up, the bass level on C4 will be 12 out of 16. Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots) Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) Example: 8. […F] – FEEDBACK An MT109-102 is in slot #4. Adjust the volume on Input 2 by sending the command [SELI2C4] and then using the [+] and [-] commands.
MULTI-TASKER™ Example: Example: An MT109-102 is in slot #4. Adjust the BASS on the output by sending the command [SELBC4] and then using the [+] and [-] commands. Set Input 2 volume level to a value of 8 for the card in slot #4. Send the command [VLI2A8C4]. 16. [VLBA] 13. [SELT] This command sets the path to adjust the treble level. The TREBLE level range is 00 to 16 and is adjustable using the [+] and [-] commands. This command sets the output BASS level to an absolute level.
MULTI-TASKER™ When defined as a volume control key, the key will respond to two conditions: press and release. Below, subroutine 8 starts ramping up when key 8 is pressed and subroutine 10 starts ramping down when key 10 is pressed. Subroutine 108 stops ramping when either key is released. 19. [LOD1] This command enables the loudness feature.
MULTI-TASKER™ Example: 25. [RST] Ramp the output volume from a starting level of 1 to a level of 10 for the card in slot #8. Send the command [RUP=10C8] and the system will respond with the following feedback: This command stops ramping and maintains the last volume setting. Command Format: [RSTCnUi] Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots) [02][03][04]…[10] Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) 23.
MULTI-TASKER™ Command Format: [RAMP=xCnUi] 29. [FBD] x = Rate in Seconds 4 = 0.25 seconds/step 6 = 0.38 seconds /step 8 = 0.50 seconds /step 10 = 0.63 seconds /step 12 = 0.75 seconds /step 14 = 0.88 seconds /step 16 = 1.00 seconds /step 18 = 1.13 seconds /step Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots) Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) This command turns feedback delay on or off. It is necessary when installing some newer cards in older systems.
MULTI-TASKER™ Some cards require more than one slot in the Multi-Tasker™ system. As an example, some matrix switcher cards require 4 slots. If there are 5 of these cards installed, they would be numbered C4, C8, C12, C16 and C20. Changing the Card ID allows the user to define the cards as C1, C2, C3, C4 and C5. 32. [SIDnCi] This command sets the Card ID of a single card to a number from 1 to 99.
MULTI-TASKER™ If assigning group commands to button functions, it is best to use the "Press and Hold on Power Up" to make group settings. 34. [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.
MULTI-TASKER™ The cards in slots 1, 2 and 19 are part of group 5. Read the member data for group 5, by sending the command [RDG5]. The system will return feedback as follows: 38. [RMG] This command may be used to delete an entire group, or all groups. REMOVE ONE GROUP MEMBERS G1=C1C2C19 Remove all the members from the group, effectively deleting the group. The feedback shows G1 (Group 1) and then the cards that make up Group 1. In this case, Group 1 includes C1, C2 and C19.
MULTI-TASKER™ Example: 18) [LOD0] Turn ON loudness feature Group 5 of Unit ID 1 contains the cards in slots 1, 2 and 19. Read the member data for group 5 of Unit ID 1. Send the command [RDG5U1] and receive the following feedback: 19) [LOD1] Turn OFF loudness feature 20) [CLR] Reset card to default values 21) [RUP] Ramp volume UP to max (16) G1=C1C2C19 22) [RUP=] Ramp volume UP to a value Now, clear group 5 by sending the command [CLMG5U1].
MULTI-TASKER™ MENU Control Select Save Clear Volume Loudness Mute Setup Group Input Volume Ramp Time Status Help 7.4 MENU MODE MENU MODE commands are RS-232 commands that allow virtually the same functionality as programming commands. Unlike the programming commands in the previous sections, 7.2 and 7.3, MENU commands prompt the user to select from a list of available options. The system then responds based upon selections made by the user.
