FEEDBACK COMMANDS
The next four commands are a function of both
the card and the front panel firmware.
4. [?]
This command displays general information
about the MultiTasker and cards installed in the
unit.
Command Format: [?Ui]
Ui = Unit ID (i = from 0 to 9)
Example:
A MultiTasker with ID 1 has a front panel with
part number MT101-101 and contains an
MT103-122 and an MT103-123. Send the
command [?U1] and receive the following
feedback:
[(MT101-101U1)(MT103-122C03)
(MT103-123C04)]
MT101-101U1 = Panel model/unit ID
MT103-122C03 = An MT103-122 is in slot 3
MT103-123C04 = An MT103-123 is in slot 4
5. [?C]
This command will display general information
about the card and its status.
Command Format: [?Cn]
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
The MT103-123 in slot 4 has a software
equalization value of 25 and the output is
enabled. Send the command [?C4] to receive
feedback status similar to the following.
[(MT103-123C04)(VR690-0197-005C04)
(ONC04)(EQ25C04)(SI0C04)]
All status feedback is enclosed in brackets, “[ ]“.
Each data field within the status is enclosed in
parentheses. The first two characters identify
the status type. The last three characters are the
card’s ID.
MT103-123 = Card model number
VR690-0197-005 = Firmware version
ON = Output status
EQ25 = Video equalization
SI0 = Input signal status
The output status line always reads “ON” since
the MT103-123 does not have an output disable
feature.
The software video equalization value is shown
following the EQ prefix, or 25 out of 50.
The input signal detect line will display a “1”
following the SI prefix if an input signal is
detected, otherwise a “0” will follow the prefix.
6. [STA1]
This command enables automatic feedback
from the front panel. The command affects any
card with auto-feedback capability, not just the
MT103-123. The default at power on or reset is
STA0, off. For more details, see the [?Cn]
command definition.
Command Format: [STA1]
Feedback Prefix Definitions:
MT Card model number
VR Firmware revision
ON Output status
EQ Video equalization
SI Input signal detect
Example:
Command = [EQ=10C4]
Feedback = (EQ10C04)
EQ = Software equalization
10 = Current value (00-50)
C04 = Card ID/slot number
