scanners within such a larger system, a simple three part addressing scheme
is available. Individual scanners are identified by their Cluster, Rack, and
Slot (CRS) address, a three-digit hexadecimal numbe
r.
A cluster (the most significant address unit), is numbered 0-F (0-15 decimal)
for a total of 16 clusters (clusters often refer to other geographical units like
control rooms or test stands).
A rack (the middle address digit), is numbered 0-F (0-15 decimal) for a total
of 16 racks per cluster. (NOTE: The 98RK-1 front-panel switch for setting the
rack address is labeled 0-15 decimal instead of hex 0-F)
A
slot (the least significant address digit), numbered 1 through 8, designates
a particular 9816 pressure scanner in a rack.
