The string will be ignored by the MultiTasker, but
not the unit receiving the command.

brackets. To do this, send the command
[TXMHELLO] and the following will be sent to
the RS-232 bus:
[HELLO]
26. <x[y]z>
This command is used to send ISM5000
command strings to the RS-232 bus through the
MultiTasker. It transmits the “< >” symbols with
the command string and allows bracket
commands within the command string.
Command Format: <x[y]z>
x[y]z = text string ("a[b]c" or "1[2]3" or…)
Example:
Send the command string "<abc[123]xyz>" to
the RS-232 bus. The string will be ignored by
the MultiTasker, but not the unit receiving the
command. Additionallly, it will add opening and
closing brackets. To do this, send the command
<abc[123]xyz> and the following will be sent to
the RS-232 bus:
<abc[123]xyz>
27. <@x[y]z>
This command is used to send ISM5000
command strings to the RS-232 bus, through
the MultiTasker. It removes the “< >” symbols in
the command string and allows bracket
commands within the command string.
Command Format: <x[y]z>
x[y]z = text string ("a[b]c" or "1[2]3" or…)
Example:
Send the command string "abc[123]xyz" to the
RS-232 bus. The string will be ignored by the
MultiTasker, but not the unit receiving the
command. Additionallly, it will remove the
opening and closing brackets. To do this, send
the command <@abc[123]xyz> and the

the MultiTasker interface commands or card
commands. Sending the command without a
card reference returns help for the interface.
Command Format: [HELPCn], [HELPUi]
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 20)

command [HELP]. The commands along with a
brief description will be displayed in the Terminal
Window.
Example 2:
In order to view the RS-232 commands
available for C2, send the command [HELPC2].
