Name  RTD Configuration Status 
Description  Returns the configuration parameters for a specified 
RTD input module in a specified system. 
Syntax $aaSiB(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 interrogate. 
Si identifies the desired slot i (i:0 to 7) 
B represents the configuration status command 
(cr) is the terminating character, carriage return (0Dh). 
Response !aarrff(cr) if the command is valid. 
?aa(cr) if an invalid operation was entered. There is

! 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. 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 (See 
RTD Configuration Command $aaSiArrff). 
(cr) is the terminating character, carriage return (0Dh). 
Example  command: $01S3B(cr) 
response: !012000(cr) The RTD input module in 
slot 3 of the ADAM-5000/ TCP system at  address 
01h responds with an RTD type Pt -100 to 100° C, 
engineering unit data format, and integration time 
50ms (60Hz).
