aa (range 00-FF) represents the 2-character hexadeci- 
mal address of the ADAM-5000/TCP system 
you want to interrogate. 
Si identifies the I/O slot you want to read. 
B is configuration status command. 
(cr) is the terminating character, carriage return (0Dh) 
Response !aarrff(cr) if the command is 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. 
ff is a hexadecimal number that equals the 8-bit pa- 
rameter representing data format. Bit 0 and 1 repre-

the ADAM-5000/TCP system at address 01h 
responds with an input range ±15mV, engineering 
units data format, and integration time 50ms (60Hz).
