Each 5200 must be assigned a unique address to enable the implementation of a
multi-drop network. The ADR command is used to assign the instrument address
via the communications network.
The following procedure can be used if a 5200 (with a known serial number) and an
unknown (or not unique) address is attached to a multi-drop network.
• Select all instruments using the S99 command.
• Send the ADR command with the new address and the serial number of the
chosen instrument. The ADR command will execute only for the instrument with
the correct serial number. Note: The serial number parameter is used
exclusively for this task.
• Continue until all instruments have unique addresses.
If the serial number is not known, the instruments must be turned on one at a time.
The combination of the S99 and ADR commands can be used to set the addresses.
