Arguments:

Name of sub system that will be controlled.
Mask
To create a mask, start with a binary value of 1s and 0s:
1 for channel on
0 for channel off
Highlight color corresponds to connector color on the LabLynx.
Example 1: Four HS-64-mux headstages
Connector 1 channels 1-32: 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111
Connector 1 channels 33-64: 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111
Connector 2 channels 65-96: 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111
Connector 2 channels 97-128: 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111
Connector 3 channels 129-160: 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111
Connector 3 channels 161-192: 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111
Connector 4 channels 193-224: 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111
Connector 4 channels 225-256: 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111
In the above example, all channels are on. Converting the above binary values into
hexadecimal values gives the mask that will be included in the command:
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Example 2: Four HS-32-mux headstages
Connector 1 channels 1-32: 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111
Connector 1 channels 33-64: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
Connector 2 channels 65-96: 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111
Connector 2 channels 97-128: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
Connector 3 channels 129-160: 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111
Connector 3 channels 161-192: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
Connector 4 channels 193-224: 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111
Connector 4 channels 225-256: 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000
Converting the above binary values into hexadecimal values gives the mask that will
be included in the command:
00000000FFFFFFFF00000000FFFFFFFF00000000FFFFFFFF00000000FFFFFFFF
