11. Programming With Programming-Menus
11.5 Device Configuration
Some fundamental settings can be taken in
the menu
DEVICE CONFIGURATION
. The de-
vice designation serves as print header in
log printouts and facilitates the assignment
within a network. Furthermore, the device
address is imperative in a network. The baud
rate can be adapted to external devices.
Three levels are available for the lighting of
the display. The setting of the atmospheric
pressure for the compensation of certain
sensors is particularly suitable at corre-
sponding altitudes. The standard value of the
hysteresis of alarm relays can be changed.
For checking the device the channel number
and cold junction temperature are indicated.
11.5.1 Device Designation
The function
Device designation
(s. manual 6.2.4) allows to enter any text
with max 40 digits (s. 9.5). The text appears in the main menu, in the print
header of a measurement and in device lists (software).

11.5.2 Device Address and Networking
All ALMEMO
®
instruments can be very easily networked to centrally acquire the
measured values of several instruments that are located at different places
(see manual 5.3). For communicating with networked devices it is mandatory
that all devices have the same baud rate and an own individual address as
only one device is allowed to respond to each command. Therefore, before any
network operation it is necessary that all connected devices are set to different
device numbers. For this, the function
Device
is available. Generally, the de-
vice number 00 is set as the factory default value in this function. It can be
changed by the usual data entry (s. 9.5). For checking purposes it is followed
by the device type, the version number and, possibly, an option code (s. man-
ual 6.10.11).
Device address with type, version, option:
Device: 00 2890-9 V:6.05XY
Example:
address: 00, type: 2890-9, version: 6.05, option: XY
Only successive numbers between 01 and 99 should be entered for
network operation so that the device 00 cannot be falsely ad-
dressed in case of a power supply failure.
