n. To display the current node-number setting, press ENTER. If you don't want
to display the node number, press COM again and proceed to Step q.
IMPORTANT: FOR RS-232-C COMMUNICATIONS, THE NODE NUMBER MUST
REMAIN AT THE INITIAL SETTING OF ZERO ("00"). For configuration of RS-485
(MULTINODE NETWORK) communications, see Section 3.a.4, below.
IMPORTANT: IF YOU HAVE SWITCHED THE INSTRUMENT FROM "RS-232" TO
"RS-485" MODE OR VICE VERSA—I.E., IF YOU HAVE CHANGED THE NODE NUM-
BER FROM "0" TO A NONZERO VALUE OR VICE VERSA—YOU WILL HAVE TO
RECYCLE INSTRUMENT POWER BEFORE THE NEW MODE SETTING CAN GO
INTO EFFECT.
o. If the node number is already "00," you should leave it there by pressing COM
and proceeding to Step q. If the current node number is not "0," you should
change it to zero by pressing the bottom segment of each nonzero digit until
that digit is "0."
p. When the node number is "0," press ENTER. Then press COM. The unit will
display the word "INPUT":
q. Press either COM or ENTER to display the word "TER" (for "TERMINATOR"):
The INPUT TERMINATOR—also called "COMMAND TERMINATOR (CMT)"—is
the single ASCII CONTROL CHARACTER from [00] through [1F] to be recog-
nized as the termination for all mnemonic commands received by the unit
through its RS-232/485 Interface Port (in either RS-232 or RS-485 mode). The
INPUT TERMINATOR cannot be the ASCII [Esc] character.
r. If you don't want to display the INPUT TERMINATOR, press the COM button
again and proceed to Step u. To display the current INPUT TERMINATOR,
press ENTER. The unit will show this parameter as a two-character hexadeci-
mal word in square brackets. For example, if an INPUT TERMINATOR of CAR-
RIAGE RETURN ([CR]) is in effect, the unit will display
s. To change the INPUT TERMINATOR, you can cycle forwards or backwards
through allowed values of each active digit by pressing its top or bottom seg-
ment, respectively. NOTE: The instrument will not accept an INPUT TERMINA-
TOR entry greater that "1F," even though it is possible to increment the most
significant digit up to "7."
t. When the desired INPUT TERMINATOR appears, press ENTER to return to
the "INPUT" display. Then press the COM button twice. The unit will display
the word "OUTPUT":
