Command: AA - Automatic addressing
Format: AA = <device address>
Description: This command can only be used with the#
command header block. It automatically
sets the addresses of the instruments in the
network to sequentially increasing
addresses.
Example: AA = 10
With three instruments in the network,
this command sets the instrument
addresses 10, 11 and 12.
Query: There is no query for this command.
Command: AE - Automatic error reporting
Format: AE = <error mask>
Description: This command enables error reporting. A 16
bit (hexadecimal) value<error mask> defines
the bit image of errors to be acted on if set.
If the error occurs, the "RE" error message is
automatically.
<error mask> is defined in Table 6-1.
Note
:An automatic error response does not clear the error bit.
The RE? command must be issued to clear the error.
Example: AE = 0001 an error is reported when a
syntax error is generated.
AE = FFFF an error is reported for every error.
Query: A query responds with a hexadecimal value
corresponding to the bit image of the error mask.
