Networking
Select IEEE-488, then press «Proceed». The remote addressing screen will
be displayed:
Enter an address number for the machine. Set the controller DNA Engine’s
address to 0. Give the other machines in the network any number from 1
to 30. Press «Cancel» to delete a number and enter a new one.
Running a Protocol on Networked Machines
To run a protocol on networked machines, use the controller to select a
protocol (see “Choosing a Stored Protocol to Run,” chapter 5), then press
«Proceed». The network screen for the controller will be displayed:
The protocol will be identified on the top line (2-STEP in the example above).
The single asterisk in the upper right-hand corner indicates that a single-
block Alpha unit is loaded into the controller. “Local” indicates that this is
the controller’s network screen, and “96V“ indicates the type of Alpha unit
loaded into the controller.
If a dual-block Alpha unit is loaded into the controller, press «Proceed»
until the letter designating the desired block is displayed after the aster-
isk in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. The letter A designates
the right-hand block, and the letter B the left-hand one (e.g., *A, *B).
To run the protocol on the controller’s block, press «Proceed». One or
more screens for setting up the protocol’s temperature control method
will be displayed (see “Running a Protocol,” chapter 5). When these
screens have been worked through, the protocol will begin running.
To run the protocol on a different machine’s block, press «Block» until
the screen identifies the desired block (22 in the example below):

Serial _IEEE-488
