Example:

A Multi-Tasker™ has a front panel with part 
number MT101-101 and contains an 

MT104-100

. Send the command [?] and receive 

the following feedback:

[+MT101-101U0+MT104-100C01]

MT101-101U01 = Panel Number and Unit ID

MT104-100C01 = An MT104-100 is in slot 1

5.  [?Cn]

This command will return general information 
about the card and its status. It is a function of 
both the card and the front panel and is only 
available with Multi-Tasker™ Front Panel 
systems that have the following firmware:

690-0122-015

= Version 015 or later.

690-0123-004

= Version 004 or later.

690-0124-018

= Version 018 or later.

NOTE: In MTSetup™, send the command 
[VER] from the Terminal Window. The system 
will respond with feedback similar to the 
following:

[690-0122-015 690-0123-004 690-0124-018]

Check the last three digits against the numbers 
above to determine if the option is available.

Command Format: [?CnUi]

Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Ui

= Unit ID (i = from 0 to 9)

Example:

The MT104-100 in slot #4 has Input 4 selected 
and the output is ON. Send the command [?C4] 
to receive the feedback status. 

Each status field begins with a '+' and ends with 
the card slot number (ex: C04). The feedback 
will be similar to the following:

[+MT104-VR690-0158-IN4C04]

MT104-100

= Card Type

VR690-0158-004

= Firmware version

IN4

= Input 4 Selected

The  selected input shows the number of the 
selected input if the card output is on. If the 
output is off, the line will not show any input 
number and would be as follows:

+INC04

6.  

[STA]

This command enables/disables automatic 
feedback from the front panel. The command 
affects any card with auto-feedback capability, 
not just the 

MT104-100/103

. The default at 

power on or reset is STA0, OFF.

Command Format [STA1] = ON

Command Format [STA0] = OFF

7.  

[ON]

This command enables one input of a single 
card or a group of cards. There are 8 inputs for 
the MT104-100 and 6 inputs for the MT104-103. 
On the MT104-100, Inputs 7 and 8 are internal 
inputs.

[ONmCnUi]:  Single Card

This command enables input “m” and disables 
all other inputs.

m

= Input Number (m = 1 to max inputs)

Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)

Ui

= Unit ID (i = 0 to 9)
