$aaSiCjB
Name Configuration Status
Description Returns the configuration parameters of a specified
channel in a specified analog output
module of a specified system.
Syntax $aaSiCjB(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. SiCj identifies the I/O slot i
(i : 0 to 7) and the channel j (j: 0 to 3) 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(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. rr
represents the 2-character hexadecimal code of the
output range.
ff is a hexadecimal number that equals the 8-bit pa-
rameter representing the status of data format and
slew rate. Bits 0 and 1 represent data format. Bits 2, 3,
4 and 5 represent slew rate. The other bits are not
used and are set to 0. (See Configuration command
$aaSiCjArrff)
(cr) is the terminating character, carriage return (0Dh)
Example command: $01S1C1B
response: !01321
0
The analog output channel 1 in slot 1 of the ADAM-
5000/TCP system at address 01h responds with an
output range 0 to 10V, engineering units data format,
and a slew rate of 1.0mA/sec.
