[OFF…..P]: sets path

This command will set the path for the output,
but it is not active until the switch command,
[SW], is executed. Commands ending in "P" are
not executed immediately. The path for outputs
on multiple cards or the same card can be
loaded.

Command Formats:

[OFFmVCnUiP] and
[OFFmSCnUiP]

m

= Input number (m = 1 to 4)

(input 4 is internal)

Cn = card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)
P

= path

Example:

There are two MT104-107 cards in slot 6 and 7
of unit 3. Enable C-Video input 1 of card 6 and
C-Video input 3 of card 7 simultaneously. Use
the following commands:

[OFF1VC6U3P]
[OFF3VC7U3P]
[SW]

If "F" is included, use the [OFFmCnUiPF]
command or the [OFFmCnUiFP]

command.

[OFF…..F]: feedback

After processing a command, an OK or ER will
be returned as feedback if "F" is included at the
end of a command string.

Example:

[OFF1VC2U3F]: if path is not set
[OFF1VC2U3PF]: if path is set

6. […S] – Save

This command will save the configuration
command being sent in memory. When
sending the command [ON1C4S], after reset or
power up, output 1 on C4 will be enabled.

7. […F] – Feedback

After processing a command, an OK or ER will
be returned as feedback if "F" is included at the
end of a command string.

8. […P] – Path

This command will set the path for the output,
but it is not active until the switch command,
[SW], is executed. Commands ending in "P" are
not executed immediately. The path for outputs
on multiple cards or the same card can be
preloaded. See examples in ON and OFF
commands.

9. [SW] – Switch

The switch command immediately connects
inputs and outputs, which were previously set
with the path command on this card and all
other cards in the Multi-Tasker™ Enclosure.

Example:

[ON1C6U3P]
[ON3C7U3P]
[SW]

The above example turns ON input 1 of card 6
of unit 3 at the same time as input 3 of card 7 of
unit 3.

This command displays information available
for the Multi-Tasker interface commands.

Command Format: [HELPCnUi]

Example:

In order to view the RS-232 commands
available for the MT104-107 card in slot 2 of
unit 3, send the command [HELPC2U3]. The
commands along with a brief description will be
displayed in the Terminal Window.
