you want to interrogate. Si identifies the I/O slot of
the ADAM-5000/TCP sys- tem containing the
ADAM-5017H/5017UH module you want to
interrogate.
B represents the read data format command.
(cr) is the terminating character, carriage return (0Dh).
Response !aaFFff(cr) if the command is valid.

represents the 2-character hexadecimal code of the
data format. 00 is for engineering unit format. 02 is for
two’s complement format.
(cr) is the terminating character, carriage return (0Dh).
Example command: $01S3B(cr)
response: !01FF00(cr)
The ADAM-5017H /5017UH module in slot 3 of the
