This command saves the output on/off status.
This configuration will be restored after the
system is reset or powered off then on.
Command Format: [CnS]
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)

4. [CLR]
This command resets the MT108-103 to a
standard setting. After the [CLR] command, all
outputs are disabled.
Command Format: [CLRCn]
Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
Clear the MT108-103 in slot 4 by sending
[CLRC4]. Check the status after clearing the
card, [C4], and receive the following:
ON:0C04
5. [TEST]
This command performs a series of tests on the
internal memory and displays a pass message if
successful. Otherwise, failures are indicated.
Command Format: [TESTCn]
Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
Test C4’s memory by sending [TESTC4]. If all
tests pass, the following message will be
displayed:

Otherwise, failures will be indicated.
6. [HELP]
This command displays information available for
the MultiTasker interface commands.
Command Format: [HELPCn]
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Example:
In order to display the RS-232 commands
available for the MT108-103 card in slot 4, send
the command [HELPC4]. The commands along
with a brief description will be displayed.
FEEDBACK CONTROL
The next commands are a function of both the card
and the front panel and allow flexibility over when
and how card information is displayed.
7. [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.
