9. […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 or if the unit ID is
zero.
10. […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
loaded. See examples in ON and OFF
commands.
11. [SW] – Switch
The switch command immediately connects
inputs and outputs, which were previously set
with the path command on this card or any
other cards in the Enclosure.
Example:
[ON12VC6U3P]
[ON23SC7U3P]
[SW]
The system will return feedback as OK if the
unit ID is zero.
12. [HELP]
This command displays all information available
for user Multi-Tasker interface commands.
13. [WR]
This command groups multiple cards in the
Enclosure. Each unit contains a maximum of
nine groups.
Command Format: [WRCn…GkUi]
Cn = card ID No. (n = slot # from 1 to 19)
(1-8 for MT100-101 or 1-4 for MT100-106)
Gk = group number (k = # from 1-9)
Ui = unit number (i = # from 0-9)
Example:
To group card #1, 2, and 3 as group 5 of unit
#1, send the [WRC1C2C3G5U1] command.
After executing this command, card 1, 2, and 3
will be grouped together as group 5 of unit 1
14. [CLR]
This command clears the members for a single
group or for all nine groups.
Command Format: [CLRGkUi]
Gk = group number (k = # from 1-9)
Ui = unit number (i = # from 0-9)
Example:
1) To clear group #1, send the [CLRG1U1]
command. This command clears the
members for the specified group only.
2) To clear all groups of unit 1, send the
[CLRG [U1] command.
15. [G]
This command is used to request group data.
With the command, the user can identify which
input or output of a particular group is on.
Command Format: [GkUi]
Gk = group number (k = # from 1-9)
Ui = unit number (i = # from 0-9)
Example:
If group 1 has DA Cards with output 1 and 2 on,
while group 2 has SW Cards with input 2 on:
[G1]: will return feedback as [On12G1].
[G2]: will return feedback as [On2G2].
16. [RD]
This command displays the members in each
group.
Command Format: [RDGkUi]
Gk = group number (k = # from 1-9)
Ui = unit number (i = # from 0-9)
member = C1 - C19 (card 1 to 19)
(1-8 for MT100-101 or 1-4 for MT100-106)
Example:
To read member data for group 1 of unit 1,
send the [RD] command. The system will return
feedback as C1C2C19 G5U1.
