This command performs a 1-Wire® bus “first” operation for some LINK
TM
devices. This
operation searches the bus and finds the first 1-Wire® or iButton® device and displays the
device serial number prefixed with a single character to indicate if there are more (“ + ”) or no
more (“ - ”) parts remaining to be found. Figure 10 shows an example on the LinkUSB. When no
more devices are found, the command will display the serial number of the first device found.
For The Link and The LinkUSB,
if locator reporting is turned on, the device serial number
should be followed by a comma and the serial number of the LinkLocator associated with the 1-
Wire® device.
