SETTING THE UNIT ADDRESS
To set the address of an AE14-503J:
Place the Run/Hold switch in the Hold position.
Set the push-wheel switches to the desired address (example: 05 for address 5).
Then press both the Goal and Actual reset buttons at the same time, then release. The new
address is now stored in non-volatile memory. The previous address will be displayed at this time.
Finally, place the Run/Hold switch back to the Run position.
WARNING. Be sure each AE Device on the system has a unique address. If two or more
units on the system have the same address, the data acquired from these units will be
unreliable. Normally it will be garbled. Even if good data is received, one can’t be sure
which of the conflicting units it came from.
CHECKING THE CURRENT UNIT ADDRESS
WARNING. The unit address must be checked in the Run position. Since the Reset
switches are used to check the address, both the GOAL and ACTUAL counts will be reset
to zero when checking the address.
To check the unit address:
Place the Run/Hold switch in the Run position.
Press and hold both the Goal and Actual reset buttons at the same time.
The displays will read the address stored.
Release both Reset buttons.
AEQUERY SOFTWARE
AEQuery software, when used with the RS232/485 Adapter, will allow a computer to communicate
with up to 32 different AE14-503J’s, and/or other AEXX-503J devices. This software uses one of
the PC’s RS232 ports, either Com1 or Com2, for communication with the AE Device.
Installation
AEQuery is usually provided on (2) 3-½ inch floppy disks. Run “setup” from Disk 2 and follow the
installation wizard. The PC will then prompt for Disk 1 to allow setup to run. Next the PC will
prompt for Disk 2 again to continue setup. Once the copying of files from the disks is complete,
Windows will begin Setup Wizard. The Setup Wizard will allow you to create your own directory to
install the AEQuery software or it will default to the following directory C:\ProgramFiles\AEQuery\.
