Read Channel Masking Status of ADAM-5050/5051/5052/5056/5060/ 
5068/5069 Command Set 
$aaSiM 
Name Read Channel Masking Status 
Description Asks the specified module to return the masking sta- 
tus of digital output channels 
Syntax $aaSiM(cr)  
$ is a delimiter character. 
aa (range 00-FF) represents the 2-character hexadeci- 
mal address of the ADAM-5000/TCP system. 
Si identifies the I/O slot of the system you want to 
read. 
M is Channel Masking Status command. 
(cr) is the terminating character, carriage return (0Dh) 
Response !aa(data)(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 that is 
responding. 
(data) is the hexadecimal value representing the sta- 
tus of all digital output channels. A 4-character value 
represents the output channels in sequence from 15 
thru 0 in an ADAM-5056 module. A 2-character value 
represents the output channels in sequence  from 5 
thru 0 in an ADAM-5060 module. And a 2-character 
value represents the output channels in 
sequence from   7   thru   0   in   ADAM-
5068/5069 module.   Each   bit represents a channel. 
A value of 1 means the channel is masked, while 
a  value  of  0 means the channel is valid.
