Achans,
output
Set alarm condition where chans is the channel(s) to assign to
the digital output.
chans may be in two forms: chan (for a single channel where
1 [[[[chan [[[[ max) or first – last (for a range of channels where
1 [[[[ first < last [[[[ max), where max = 992 for the
TempScan/1100 and max = 744 for the MultiScan/1200.
output is the digital output number to associate the channel(s)
with, where 1<=output<=32, and 0 is null.
A Assign Alarm Output
A? Query channels assigned to digital output.
A# Set Scan Alarm
Stamping A#state Specify whether or not scan alarm stamping will be enabled.
Valid options for state are 0 – Disable scan alarm stamping
(default), and 1 – Enable scan alarm stamping.
Cchans,
type [,
[lowsp],[
highsp],
[hyst] ]
Configure the channels for the master unit and its slave units.
chans and type are required arguments, while lowsp,
highsp and hyst are optional.
chans may be in two forms: chan (for a single channel where 1
[[[[ chan [[[[ max) or first – last (for a range of channels where
1 [[[[ first < last [[[[ max), where max = 992 for the
TempScan/1100 and max – 744 for the MultiScan/1200.
The chassis is chan = 0.
type is the type to assign to those channels. 0 is null.
C Configure Channels
C? Query current channel configuration
