7.2 DESCRIPTION OF COMMANDS
Each command consists of three parts:
Function, Card ID, and Unit ID.
[ Function , Card ID , Unit ID ]
Example: [VERC3U2]
VER = Function
C3 = Card ID or Group ID
U2 = Unit ID (optional for Unit ID 0)
For Function, see a detailed explanation under
each command description.
The card ID is a unique identifier. It is equal to
the enclosure slot number, or it may be an
assigned value. As the slot number, the value
can range from 1-4 up to 1-20 depending on the
enclosure. If the value is assigned, the ID may
be a maximum of 99. Card ID 0 (C0) is used for
the controller and cannot be reassigned.
The group ID is a number representing a group
of cards defined with the [WR] command. When
using the group ID, all cards in the group will
perform the given instruction.
NOTE: In this guide, cards are referenced by
their IDs (C1, C2...C99). Typically, the ID
number will be equivalent to the slot number.
Groups will be referenced by their IDs (G1-G8).
Changing the position of a card will significantly
affect the commands recorded on software
definitions or third-party control systems.
The unit ID has a range from U0 to U20. U0
should be used for single unit operation. If the ID
is set to U0, each command may be used
without Ui. Use the command [SETU0], as
explained in the MT101-101 User’s Guide.
Example:
[VERC3]: For U0
[VERC3Ui]: For ID other than U0
[VERC3]: Equivalent to [VERC3U0]
COMMANDS
1. [VER]
This command displays the software version
and card type for the MT103-123 card.
Command Format: [VERCn]
Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
An MT103-123 card is in slot 4. Send the
command [VERC4] and the system will return
the following feedback:
[MT103-123 690-0197-005 C04]
MT103-123 = model number
690-0197-005 = software version
C04 = card ID
2. [C]
This command displays the status of the card.
Command Format: [Cn]
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
There is one MT103-123 card in slot 4. Sending
the command [C4] to the MultiTasker will yield
the following feedback:
ON, EQ=0 C04
ON = output is on
EQ=0 = equalization is zero
C04 = card ID
If there is no card in slot 4, sending the
command [C4] will not return any feedback.
3. [CnS]
This command saves the card settings and
displays the status. After the system is reset or
powered off and then back on, the card restores
the saved settings.
Cn = Card ID
S = Save configuration
