Example:
Send the command [CLRC4] to reset the card in
slot 4. After the reset, the status of C4 will be
similar to the following depending on the matrix
configuration:
Matrix:16X8
In01-Out1 ON
In01-Out2 ON
In01-Out3 ON
In01-Out4 ON
In01-Out5 ON
In01-Out6 ON
In01-Out7 ON
In01-Out8 ON
Input 1 will be connected to all outputs and all
outputs will be enabled.
17. [FBD]
This command turns feedback delay on or off. It
is necessary when installing some newer cards
in older systems. If the system does not receive
all of the feedback from the card, the card may
be communicating too fast. This command will
slow down the card's communication rate.
Command Format: [FBDmCnUi]
m = Delay (0= no delay, 1= delay 100mS)
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Ui = Unit ID (i = from 0 to 9)
Example:
The command [HELPC4] is sent to the card in
slot 4. Some of the HELP file is displayed on the
screen, but most is missing. Send the command
[FBD1C4] to slow down the rate at which the
card sends feedback to the system.
ID COMMANDS: RSI, SIDn, SIDnCi, SID+, RSN
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 the installed cards to take their
slot number as their ID number, regardless of
the slot in which they are installed.
Some cards require more than one slot in the
Multi-Tasker™ system. As an example, some
matrix switcher cards require 4 slots. If there are
5 of these cards installed, they would be
numbered C4, C8, C12, C16 and C20.
Changing the Card 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.
The ID commands work with all Multi-Tasker™
Front Panel systems. However, front panels that
have firmware releases prior to the following will
not be able to address Card ID's greater than
the number of slots in the system:
690-0122-019 = Version 019 or later.
690-0123-005 = Version 005 or later.
690-0124-019 = Version 019 or later.
NOTE: Send the command [VER] to the
Multi-Tasker™. The system will respond with
feedback which includes:
690-0122-019 690-0123-005 690-0124-019
Check the last three digits against the numbers
above to determine if the Card ID commands
can address all 99 Card ID's.
