41. [HELP]
This command displays information available for
the MultiTasker interface commands.
Command Format: [HELPCnUi]
Cn = card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9)
Example:
Display the RS-232 commands available for the
MT109-100 card in slot 4 be sending [HELPC4].
The commands along with a brief description
will be displayed in the Terminal Window.
GROUP COMMANDS
The next few commands are group commands.
The use of groups allows several boards, with the
same functions, to be controlled simultaneously
with a single command. These commands apply to
all cards, not only the MT109-100.
42. [WR]
This command groups multiple cards in the
enclosure allowing all the group members to be
controlled simultaneously with the same
command. Each MultiTasker unit may define a
maximum of eight groups.
In systems with audio and video cards, the
cards are typically grouped as follows:
Group 1 = Video Cards
Group 2 = Audio Cards
Group 3 = Video and Audio Cards

…GkUi]
Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)
Gk = Group number (k = # from 1-8)
Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0-9)
Example:
Group cards 2, 4, and 6 as Group 5 of Unit ID 1
by sending [WRC2C4C6G5U1]. After executing
this command, cards 2, 4 and 6 will be grouped
together as Group 5 of Unit ID 1. The system
will return the following feedback:
[G5=C2C4C6]
Now, when a command is sent to G5, each
board in G5 will execute the same command.
43. [RMC]
This command may be used to remove one or
more group members from a group. Reset the
system after using this command for all changes
to take effect.
