34. [RSN]
This command reads the slot number of the
card with a specified ID number, and returns
the value to the system to be displayed in the
terminal window. If more than one card has the
same ID, each slot number will be displayed.
Command Format: [RSNCi]
Ci = Card ID (i = # from 1 to 99)
Example:
The card in slot #4 takes up four slots in the
enclosure. Its ID was set to 1 since it is the first
card installed in the system, reading from left to
right. Send the command [RSNC1] to find the
slot number of this card. The system responds
with the following feedback:

35. [HELP]
This command displays information available
for the Multi-Tasker interface commands.
Command Format: [HELPCnUi]
Cn = Card ID (n = # from 1 to max slots)
Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0 to 9)
Example:
In order to display the RS-232 commands
available for the MT109-102 card in slot #2,
send the command [HELPC2]. The commands
along with a brief description will be displayed
in the Terminal Window.
36. [WR]
This command groups multiple cards in the
enclosure allowing all the group members to be
controlled simultaneously with the same
command. Each unit may define a maximum of
eight groups.
In Multi-Tasker™ systems with audio and video
cards, boards are typically grouped as follows:
Group 1 = Video Cards
Group 2 = Audio Cards
Group 3 = Video and Audio Cards
If assigning group commands to button
functions, it is best to use the "Press and Hold
on Power Up" to make group settings.

Cn = Card ID (n = slot # from 1 to max slots)
Gk = Group number (k = # from 1-8)
Ui = Unit ID (i = # from 0-9)
Example:
To group cards 1, 2, and 3 as group 5 of
Unit ID 1, send the command
[WRC1C2C3G5U1]. After executing this
command, cards 1, 2 and 3 will be grouped
together as group 5 of Unit ID 1. The system
will return the following feedback:
G1=C1C2C3
Now, when a command is sent to G1, each
board in G1 will execute the same command.

This command may be used to remove one or
