[AUTO]

– MT104-100 Only

This command is used to enable or disable the 
auto-switching feature. In auto-switch mode, the 
first input with a signal detected will be 
connected to the output. Use this where only 
one active source is expected at a time. 

CAUTION: Auto-switch mode disables manual 
control of input selection.

Command Format:  [AUTO=xCnUi]

x

= Auto Mode (0 = Manual, 1 = Auto)

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

Ui

= Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9)

Example:

Send the command [AUTO=1C4] to place the 

MT104-100

in slot #4 in auto-switch mode. A 

status of the card, [C4], will produce feedback 
similar to the following:

ON 2 AUTO C04

15.  

[CLR]

This command resets the card configuration to 
the factory defaults. After the [CLR] command, 
Input 1 will be selected and ON.

Command Format:  [CLRCnUi]

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

Ui

= Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9)

Example:

Send the command [CLRC4] to reset the card in 
slot #4 to its factory defaults. The feedback after 
sending the status command, [C4], will be as 
follows:

ON 1 C04

16.  

[TEST]

This command performs a test on the internal 
memory. Upon completion, the system will 
display the results. If there are no problems, the 
system will display the following:

MEMORY IS GOOD

Otherwise, failures will be indicated.

Command Format: [TESTCnUi]

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

Ui

= Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9)

Example:

There is an 

MT104-100

in slot #4. In order to 

test the internal memory, send the command 
[TESTC4].

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.

CARD ID COMMANDS

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.

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:
