Configuration with the ADAM Utility Software
The easiest way to configure the ADAM module is by using the ADAM
utility software: an easy-to-use menu-structured program will guide you
through every step of the configuration. (See Appendix D, Utility Soft-
ware)
Configuration with the ADAM command set
ADAM modules can also be configured by issuing direct commands from
within a terminal emulation program that is part of the ADAM utility
software.
The following example guides you through the setup of an analog input
module. Assume that an ADAM-4011 Analog Input module still has its
default settings (baud rate 9600 and address 01h). Before the module is
reconfigured, it is first requested to send its default settings.
NOTICE: An analog input module requires a maximum of 7 seconds to
perform auto calibration and ranging after it is rebooted or powered on.
During this time span, the module can not be addressed to perform any
other actions.
Example:
Make sure that the module is properly connected as shown in figure 2-5.
Power up all the connected devices, start the terminal emulation program,
and issue the following command:
$012(cr)
requests that module with address 01 send its configuration status
!01050600
Module at address 01 responds that it is configured for an input range of +/
-2.5 V, baud rate 9600, integration time of 50 ms (60 Hz), engineering
units and no checksum checking or generation.
