PATH OPTION

[OFF…..P]:  Sets Path

This command will set the path for the output, 
but it is not active until the switch command, 
[SW], is executed. Commands ending in "P" are 
not executed immediately. The path for outputs 
on multiple cards or the same card can be 
loaded.

Command Format:  [OFFmCnUiP]

m

= Input Number that is ON (optional)

n

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

P

= path

Example:

There are two 

MT104-100/103

cards in slots 6

and 7.  Disable Input 1 of card 6 and Input 3 of 
card 7 simultaneously using the following 
commands.

[OFF1C6

P

]

[OFF3C7

FEEDBACK OPTION

If "F" is included, use the [OFFmCnUi

PF

command or the [OFFmCnUi

FP

] command.

[OFF…..F]:  Feedback

After processing a command, an OK or ER will 
be returned as feedback if "F" is included at the 
end of a command string.

Example:

[OFF1C2

F

]: if path is not set

[OFF1C2

[…S]

– Save

This command will save the configuration 
command being sent in memory.  When 
sending the command [ON1C4S], after reset or 
power up, Output 1 on C4 will be enabled.

[…F]

– Feedback

After processing a command, an OK or ER will 
be returned as feedback if "F" is included at the 
end of a command string.

11.  

[…P]

– Path

This command will set the path for the output, 
but it is not active until the switch command, 
[SW], is executed. Commands ending in "P" are 
not executed immediately. The path for outputs 
on multiple cards or the same card can be 
loaded. See examples in ON and OFF 
commands.

12.  

[SW]

– Switch

The switch command immediately connects 
inputs and outputs previously set with the path 
command.  The command switches all paths set 
on this card and all other cards in the enclosure

Example:

[ON1C6P]
[ON3C7P]
[SW]

13.  

[SIG]

– MT104-100 Only

The Signal Present command tests for the 
presence of a signal.  After sending the 
command, the feedback will be either "1" 
signifying a signal is present, or a "0" indicating 
no signal was detected.

Command Format: [SIGCnUi]

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

Ui

= Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9)

Example:

To check for the presence of an input signal on 
card 4, send the command [SIGC4] and verify 
feedback of "1" or "0".
