[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: [FBDm]
m
= Delay (0= no delay, 1= delay 100mS)
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
[FBD1] to slow down the rate at which the card
sends feedback to the system.
8.
[?]
This command will return general information
about the MultiTasker and cards installed in the
unit.
Command Format: [?Ui]
Ui
= Unit ID (i = from 0 to 9)
Example:
A MultiTasker with unit ID 1 has a front panel
with part number MT101-101 and contains an
MT103-122, MT103-123, and MT106-103. Send
the command [?U1] and receive the following
feedback:
[(MT101-101U1)(MT103-122C01)
(MT103-123C02)(MT106-103C04)]
MT101-101U1
= Panel model number/unit ID
MT103-122C01 = MT103-122 is in slot 1
MT103-123C02 = MT103-123 is in slot 2
MT106-103C04 = MT106-103 is in slot 4
9.
[?C]
This command will display general information
about the card and its status.
Command Format: [?Cn]
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
The
MT106-103
in slot 4 has the S-Video input
selected with an output resolution set to
1024x768. Send the command [?C4] to receive
feedback status similar to the following.
[(MT106-103C04)(VR690-0187-006C04)
(IN00C04)(RS03C04)(BR24C04)(CN40C04)
(CL24C04)(SH10C04)(HU00C04)(CF0C04)
(NR1C04)(AR1C04)(FZ0C04)]
All status feedback is enclosed in brackets, “[ ]“.
Each data field within the status is enclosed in
parentheses. The first two characters identify
the status type and the last three the card’s ID.
MT106-103
= Card model number
VR690-0187-007 = Firmware version
IN00
= Active input number
RS03
= Active resolution
BR24
= Brightness level
CN40
= Contrast level
CL24
= Color level
SH10
= Sharpness setting
HU00
= Hue setting
CF
= Comb filter on/off
NR
= Noise reduction
AR
= Aspect ratio
FZ
= Freeze output image
The IN status line is a 2-digit number
representing inputs 00-03 from the [IN]
command. The RS line reads the resolution
setting 0-9 from the [MODER] command.
The next 5 lines are the image settings for
brightness, contrast, color, sharpness, and hue.
The last 2 digits in each line show the actual
value.
The last 4 lines give the status of the remaining
output image settings. These features are either
on or off and do not have numerical values. A
“1” will be displayed if the feature is on; a “0” will
be displayed if the feature is off.
