23. [SID+]
This command sets the Card ID of all cards to
their slot number plus the offset value.
Command Format: [SID+n]
n= Offset amount (n = # from 0 to 99)
The maximum Card ID is 99, so subtract
the highest slot number from 99 to find the
maximum offset. For example, in an 8 slot
enclosure, the maximum offset would be
91. The slot number, 8, plus the offset, 91,
equals 99.
Example:
There are two, 20 slot enclosures to be
connected together during normal operation.
The first unit will use the default card IDs where
the card ID is equal to its slot numbers. The
second unit will have the same Unit ID, but each
card ID will be offset by 20.
Connect the computer to the second unit only
and send [SID+20] to set the ID of all the cards
in the enclosure to their slot number plus 20.
Reconnect both units to the computer.
The cards in the first unit will be referenced as
card IDs 1-20 and the cards in the second unit
will be referenced by card IDs 21-40.
24. [RSN]
This command reads the slot number of the
card with a specified ID number, and returns the
value to the system to be displayed in the
terminal window. If more than one card has the
same ID, each slot number will be displayed.
Command Format: [RSNCi]
Ci = Card ID (i = # from 1 to 99)
Example:
The card in slot 4 uses four slots. Its ID was set
to C1 since it is the first card in the system,
reading from left to right. Send the command
[RSNC1] to find the slot number of C1. The
system will respond with the following:
[4]
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 MT110-103.
25. [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 MultiTasker™ systems with audio and video
cards, boards are typically grouped as follows:
Group 1 = Video Cards
Group 2 = Audio Cards
Group 3 = Video and Audio Cards
Command Format: [WRCn
1
Cn
2
…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 the command [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.
26. [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.
