Module
Identification
This example can be used to verify that the logical address has been
correctly set, that the module is correctly installed, and that the module is
communicating with the command module. The terminal module does not
need to be installed for this example to work. This example queries the
module for the identification string.
10 DIM A$[256]
20 OUTPUT 70909;"*IDN?"
30 ENTER 70909;A$
40 PRINT A$
50 END
The response should be similar to one of the following:
HEWLETT-PACKARD,E1418A_8CH,xxxxAxxxx,A.01.00
or
HEWLETT-PACKARD,E1418A_16CH,xxxxAxxxx,A.01.00
The xxxxAxxxx portion of the response string is the module serial number.
