APS-16

5.2. Defining and Reading the Site I.D.

When your application involves communication with several APS-16 units, the Site I.D. can indicate the location or name of each unit. If you have already defined the Site I.D. in Section 3, and have not re-initialized the APS-16, skip this section.

Note:

• The Site I.D., cannot include non-printable ASCII characters, such as nulls or Line Feeds.

• The Site I.D. will be cleared when the APS-16 is initialized to default settings.

1 Access the Command Mode.

2 Type /F [Enter]. The APS-16 will display the Site I.D. Prompt. Key in the desired text (up to 32 characters) and press [Enter].

3 To display the Site I.D., type /J [Enter].
