MULTI-TASKER

Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9) (refer to the
MT100-100 user’s guide for explanation)

Example:

If one MT108-103 card is plugged in slot #2 of
unit 3: Sending the command

[VERC2U3],

will

yield the following feedback from the
Multi-Tasker™

MT108-103 690-0127-007

MT108-103

= card type

690-0127-007 = software version

2. [C]

This command receives the status of the card.

Command Format: [CnUi]

Cn = card id (n = from 1 to 19)

Ui = unit id (i = from 0 to 9) (refer to the
MT100-100 user’s guide for explanation)

Example:

If one MT108-103 card is plugged into slot #2 of
unit 3 with outputs 1 and 2 ON, sending the
command

[C2U3]

will yield the following

feedback:

ON: 1,2 C02

If there is no card plugged in slot #2 of unit 3,
the Multi-Tasker™ will not return any feedback.

3. [CiS]

This command saves the current status of the
card's output enable configuration. This
configuration will be restored after system is
reset or powered off then on.

Ci = card number

S = save configuration

If Inputs 1,2,3 and 4 are enabled, the feedback
after sending the command [C4S], for slot 4,
would be:

ON:1,2,3,4 C04 Saved

4. [SIG]

The Signal Present command tests for the
presence of a signal on the input. After sending

the command, the feedback will be either "1"
signifying a signal is present, or a "0" indicating
no signal was detected.

Command Format: [SIGCnUi]

Cn

= card number

Ui

= unit ID

Example:

To check for the presence of an input signal on
card 4, send the command [SIGC4] and verify
feedback of "1" or "0".

5. [ON]

This command enables one or more outputs of
a single card or a group of cards.

[ONmCnUi]: for a single card

This command enables output “m” without
affecting any other outputs.

m

= Output number (m = 1 to 4)

n

= Card ID number (n = 1 to 19)

i

= Unit ID number (i = 0 to 9)

Example:

1)

[ON12C5U3]: Turns ON only outputs 1
and 2 of the MT108-103 card located in slot
#5 of the MT100-100 Enclosure with unit
ID3.

2)

[ON3C5U3]: Turns ON only output 3 of the
MT108-103 card located in slot #5 of the
MT100-100 Enclosure with unit ID3. After
the

[ON12C5U3]

and

[ON3C5U3]

commands have been executed, outputs 1,
2 and 3 will be ON.

3)

[ONC5U3]: Turns ON all outputs of the
card. This is the equivalent of sending the
command [ON1234C5U3].

[ONmGkUi]: for a group of cards

This command enables output "m" for each card
in group "k" of unit "i".

m

= card output (m = # from 1-4)

k

= group number (k = # from 1-9)

i

= unit number (i = # from 0-9)
