Information Specific to the DNA Engine Tetrad
Select Yes , then press « Proceed ». A screen announcing the cancellation
and citing the total time for the run will be displayed:
Programming the DNA Engine Tetrad
The DNA Engine Tetrad is programmed in the same way as the DNA
Engine (see chapter 6).
Networking the DNA Engine Tetrad
Any combination of DNA Engine Tetrads and DNA Engines can be net-
worked, as long as the 15-machine limit is not exceeded and a computer
or a DNA Engine is included to serve as the controller (the DNA Engine
Tetrad cannot serve as controller). See chapter 9 for information on net-
working machines.
Software Required for Networking
A DNA Engine must have software version 1.1J or later in order to control a
network that includes one or more DNA Engine Tetrads. To identify the
software version loaded into a DNA Engine, see “Determining the Software
Version Number,” chapter 8.
Operating Networked DNA Engine Tetrads
Networked DNA Engine Tetrads operate the same as networked DNA
Engines. Each block of a networked DNA Engine Tetrad is designated by
the machine’s IEEE-488 address, followed by the block’s quadrant num-
ber and an A or a B if a dual block is involved. For example, the designa-
tion for a single-block Alpha unit present in quadrant 1 of machine 17 is
17-1. The designation for block B in a dual-block Alpha unit present in
quadrant 2 of the same machine is 17-2B.
Using the Utilities for the DNA Engine Tetrad
The DNA Engine Tetrad has the same utilities as the DNA Engine (see
chapter 8).
