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: $01S3C0A3110(cr) 
response: !01(cr) 
The analog output channel 0 in slot 3 of the ADAM- 
5000/TCP system at address 01h is configured to an 
output range 4 to 20mA, engineering units data for- 
mat, and a slew rate of 1.0mA/sec. The response indi- 
cates that the command has been received. 
Note:  An analog output module requires a maximum of 20 milliseconds 
to perform auto calibration and ranging after it is reconfigured. 
During this time span, the module cannot be address to perform 
any other actions.
