$aaSiArrff 
Name  RTD Configuration 
Description  Sets slot index, input range, data format and integra- 
tion time for a specified RTD input module in a speci- 
fied system. 
Syntax $aaSiArrff(cr) 
$ is a delimiter character. 
aa (range 00-FF) represents the 2-character hexadeci- 
mal address of the ADAM-5000/TCP system 
you want to configure. 
Si identifies the desired slot i (i:0 to 7). A represents 
the I/O module configuration command. rr represents 
the 2-character hexadecimal code of the input range. 
(See Appendix B) 
ff is a hexadecimal number that equals the 8-bit pa- 
rameter representing data format. Bits 0 and 1 repre- 
sent data format. Bit 7 represents integration time. 
The layout for the 8-bit parameter is shown in Figure 
6-4. The other bits are not used and are set to 0. (cr) is 
the terminating character, carriage return (0Dh). 
Response !aa(cr) if the command is valid. 
?aa(cr) if an invalid operation was entered. There is 
no response if the module detects a syntax error or 
communication error or if the specified ad- dress 
does not exist. 
! delimiter character indicating a valid command was 
received. 
? delimiter character indicating the command was in- 
valid. 
aa (range 00-FF) represents the 2-character hexadeci- 
mal address of an ADAM-5000/TCP system. 
(cr) is the terminating character, carriage return (0Dh). 
Example  command: $01S3A2000(cr) 
response: !35(cr) The RTD input module in slot 3 of 
the ADAM-5000/ TCP system at address 01h is 
configured to an RTD type Pt -100 to 100° C, 
engineering unit data format, and integration time 
50ms (60Hz). The response indi- cates that the 
command has been received.
