$AA4
Name Start-up Voltage/Current Output Configuration
Description Stores the present output value of an analog output module
with address AA in the module’s non-volatile register. The
output value will take effect upon start-up or after a brownout.
Syntax $AA4(cr)
$ is a delimiter character.
AA (range 00-FF) represents the 2-character hexadecimal

Presume the present output value of the analog output module
with address 0A is 9.4 mA. The command tells the analog
output module store the present output value, in its non-volatile
memory. When the module is powered up or reset, its default
output value will be 9.4mA.
The response of the analog output module indicates that the
command has been received.
