6.13 DCS Address
Before you can configure a DCS, you need to know what its address is. Intraplex recommends that
you use ISiCL to find the address. The address can be any number from 1 to 63. To find the address,
perform these steps:
1.
Run a communications program, such as HyperTerminal, to set the communications parameters
(Table 6-6).
Table 6-6. Communications Parameters
Parameter
Value
Baud rate

Sop bit

Parity
None
2.
Make all necessary hardware connections.
3.
Execute the ISiCL default
STATUS?
command.
A response to this command confirms that the communications port is working. It is able to
respond to this command without an address. In IntraGuide, you can execute ISiCL commands by
selecting ISiCL Terminal from the Setup menu.
:::;
4.
Execute the
FLAGS11
command to get the address of the DCS.
:DCS:CONFIG?:FLAGS11;
5.
Write down this address number and save it. You must enter this address when you configure the
DCS in IntraGuide.
6.14 ISiCL Commands Used to Manage the System Clock
You can specify a primary and an alternate clock source for the DCS system clock with the
SET
command and the
CLOCK
parameter. You can also query the DCS software for the current clock
source configuration and for status information, such as the number of times the clock source has
been changed.
Commands in the next example use two colons (
::
) to indicate that the address and subaddress fields
are not specified. Such commands are valid when a user has a local connection to a single DCS.
