Reviewing and Setting the Base Channel Number
Perform the procedure in Table 2-8 to review or set the Base Channel Number
(BCN). The BCN identifies the instrument. The BCN is also the first two digits of
the Global Channel Number (GCN), which uniquely identifies each instrument
channel. For example, a GCN of 27116 indicates instrument 27 and analog
channel 116. (See Figure 2-14 for examples.)
•
BCN Range
The BCN can be any number from 01 to 99. If you plan to install
Fluke DAQ software for isolated network operation, each instrument on the
network must have a unique BCN.

BCN Review or Set identifier
The REVIEW annunciator displays when
reviewing the BCN; the SET annunciator displays when setting the BCN.
