Altinex MT108-103 - Manual (Page 13)

MULTITASKER
400-0162-003 12
GROUP OPERATION
This command disables output "m" for each card
in group "k".
Command Format: [OFFmGk]
m = Output no. (m = # from 1-4)
Gk = Group ID (k = # from 1-8)
Example:
1. [OFF1G1]: Turns off Output 1 for each card
in G1.
2. [OFFG1]: Turns off all outputs for each
card in G1.
PATH OPERATION
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 may be
preloaded.
Command Format: [OFFmCnP]
m = Output no. (m = # from 1 to 4)
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
P = Path
Example:
There are two MT108-103 cards, C6 and C7.
Disable Output 1 of C6 and Output 3 of C7
simultaneously using the following commands:
[OFF1C6P]
[OFF3C7P]
[SW]
16. […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.
17. [SW] – SWITCH
This command immediately connects inputs and
outputs previously set with the PATH command.
The command switches all paths set on this
card and all other cards in the enclosure.
Example:
[ON1C6P]
[OFF3C7P]
[SW]
ID COMMANDS
The default card ID is the same as the card slot
number. The next several commands allow the
user to change the card ID to a value other than the
slot number. Once the ID is changed, moving the
card to another slot will not change the card ID. If a
card in slot 4 is set to ID 1, then moved to slot 10,
its ID will remain 1. The [RSI] command forces
each installed card to take its slot number as its ID
number, regardless of the slot in which it is
installed.
Some cards require more than one slot in the
MultiTasker system. As an example, some matrix
switcher cards require 4 slots. If 5 of these cards
are installed, they would be numbered C4, C8,
C12, C16, and C20. Changing the ID allows the
user to define the cards as C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5.
Another use for changing the card ID is to be able
to use multiple systems without having to set each
unit to a different unit ID. All systems may be left as
unit ID 0 for ease of programming. The cards in the
first unit may be numbered 1-10 and in the second
unit 11-20.
18. [RSI]
This command resets the card IDs in the
system. After sending this command, each card
ID in the system will match the slot number of
the card. If the card is moved to another slot, its
ID number will be the new slot number.
