Device Configuration
Some fundamental settings can be taken in
the menu
DEVICE CONFIGURATION
. The de-
vice designation appears in the output via in-
terface and facilitates the assignment within a
network. Furthermore, the device address is
imperative in a network. The baud rate can be
adapted to external devices. Three levels are
available for the lighting of the display. The
setting of the atmospheric pressure for the
compensation of certain sensors is particu-
larly suitable at corresponding altitudes. The
standard value of the hysteresis of alarm re-
lays can be changed. For checking the device
the channel number and cold junction temper-
ature are indicated.
11.5.1
Device Designation
The function
Device designation
(s. manual 6.2.4) allows to enter any text
with max 40 digits (s. 9.5). The text appears in the main menu, in the output via
interface of a measurement and in device lists (software).

11.5.2
Device Address and Networking
All ALMEMO
®
instruments can be very easily networked to centrally acquire the
measured values of several instruments that are located at different places (see
manual 5.3). For communicating with networked devices it is mandatory that all
devices have the same baud rate and an own individual address as only one
device is allowed to respond to each command. Therefore, before any network
operation it is necessary that all connected devices are set to different device
numbers. For this, the function
Device
is available. Generally, the device num-
ber 00 is set as the factory default value in this function. It can be changed by
the usual data entry (s. 9.5). For checking purposes it is followed by the device
type, the version number and, possibly, an option code (s. manual 6.10.11).
Device address with type, version, option:
Device: 00 6.80 XY
Example:
address: 00, type: 2690-8A, version: 6.80, option: XY
Only successive numbers between 01 and 99 should be entered for
network operation so that the device 00 cannot be falsely addressed
in case of a power supply failure.
