device ID

Device ID
The DataService uses device ID to uniquely identify a device and its chan-
nels. The factory setting for the device ID is its serial number.
The device ID is displayed as the main part of the
object ID
under the
column with the same name in DataService. The column can be displayed
via
View
→
Right panel
→
Visible channel sheet columns
.
The device ID requires amending when copying the configuration from one
device to another and then running both devices together on the same
DataService. Both devices would then have identical device IDs and the
DataService would not be able to distinguish between them.
Method
1. Open the
Device properties
dialogue.
2. Enable
User-defined device ID
.
3. Enter a new ID (e.g. the device's "old" serial number).
The device ID is in hexadecimal format. Valid inputs include numbers from
0 to 9 and letters from 'a–f' or 'A–F' (no distinction is made between upper
case and lower case letters). If a sufficient number of characters is
entered, preceding zeroes are removed. A valid input changes the input
font from red to black.
After amending the device ID, the connection to the device is briefly inter-
rupted before being restored again.
