10. DEVICE CONFIGURATION
Some fundamental settings can be taken in
the menu ´Device Configuration´. The device
designation serves as print header in log
printouts 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 modes are available for the
illumination of the display. The setting of the
atmospheric pressure for the compensation
of certain sensors is particularly suitable at
corresponding altitudes. The standard value
of the hysteresis of alarm relays can be
changed. For checking the device the
channel number, sensor supply voltage and
cold junction temperature are indicated.
10.1
Device Designation
The function ´Device Designation´ (see manual 6.2.4) allows to enter any text
with max 21 digits (see 5.5). The text appears in the main menu, in the print
header of a measurement and in device lists (software).

10.2 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 number 00 is set as the factory default value in this function. It can be
changed by the usual data entry (see 5.5). For checking purposes it is followed
by the device type, the version number and, possibly, an option code (see
manual 6.10.11).
Function ´Device Address´ with type and version:
Device:00 2590-9 5.50X
Example:
Address: 00, Type: 2590-9, Version: 5.50Q, Option: X
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.
