MULTITASKER

400-0394-007

8

Example:  [VERC3U2]

VER

= Function

C3

= Card ID or Group ID

U2

= Unit ID (optional for Unit ID 0)

For Function, see a detailed explanation under 
each command description.

The card ID is a unique identifier. It is equal to 
the enclosure slot number, or it may be an 
assigned value. As the slot number, the value 
can range from 1-4 up to 1-to-20 depending on 
the enclosure. If the value is assigned, the ID 
may be a maximum of 99. Card ID 0 (C0) is 
used for the controller and cannot be 
reassigned.

The group ID is a number representing a group 
of cards defined with the [WR] command. When 
using the group ID, all cards in the group will 
perform the given instruction.

NOTE: In this manual, cards will be referenced 
by their ID (C1, C2...C99). Typically, the ID 
number will be equivalent to the slot number. 
Groups will be referenced by their ID (G1-G8).

Changing the position of a card will significantly 
affect the commands recorded on software 
definitions or third-party control systems.

The unit ID has a value from 0 to 9. Unit ID 0 
should be used for single unit operation. If the 
unit ID is set to zero, each command may be 
used without Ui.  Use the command [SETU0], as 
explained in the MT100-100 User’s Guide.

Example:

[VERC3]:

For Unit ID Zero

[VERC3Ui]: For Unit ID other than Zero

[VERC3]:

Equivalent to [VERC3U0]

BASIC COMMANDS

1.  

[C]

This command displays the status of the card.

Command Format: [Cn]

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

Example:

There is an

MT106-103

card in slot 4. Sending

the command [C4] to the MultiTasker will yield 
feedback similar to the following:

Input: Composite Video

Output Resolution: 1024x768

Brightness: 24

Contrast: 40

Color: 24

Sharpness: 10

Hue: 0

3D Filter OFF

NR ON

Aspect Ratio 4:3

Freeze  OFF

If there is no card in slot 4, sending the [C4]
command will not return any feedback.

2.  

[CnS]

This command saves the card settings. This 
configuration will be restored after the system is 
reset or powered-up.

Command Format: [CnS]

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

S

= Save configuration

Example:

The 

MT106-103

has been set to a resolution of 

1024x768 with Composite Video as the active
