W4
Write Instrument Address
SYNOPSIS
W4
{new two-character address}
DESCRIPTION
The
W4
command changes the two-character address which identifies the
instrument during serial communications. The
information field
holds the
new address. Lower case letters are converted to upper case letters. Using
non-alphanumeric characters in the
information field
will cause the entire
command to be ignored and the string "
COMMAND
ERROR
" to be sent out on
the serial port.
The default address for PIM-3 instrument's as they are shipped from the fac-
tory is "00" (ASCII codes decimal 30, decimal 30).
The PIM-3 will not send a response after this command has been processed.
To temporarily set the address to “00”, use the DEFAULT pin as described in
Chapter 4, “Mounting and Wiring.”
EXAMPLE
#00W4AA
The above command, when followed by a carriage return, will change the
two-character address of the instrument addressed as "00" to "AA".
WHEN TO USE IT
When using only a single instrument with a host, changing the address is not
necessary. On an RS-485 communications bus with multiple PIM-3's, each
PIM-3 instrument must have an unique address. As each PIM-3 is added
one at a time to the communications bus, its address must be changed from
the default of "00" to a unique address.
