Figure3-6Identifying modules location

In order to identify the location of the modules, a

pre- configuration setting is needed before the synchronization or triggering event begins. Follow the steps below:

1Send the following command to the modular chassis to trigger it. This command will be used to transmit the number to all USB modules via Trigger Bus [0...7]. You can choose from 1 to 255 for your chassis number.

SYSTem:IDentity {123…255}

2Send the following command to every module in the chassis to query each of the slot and chassis numbers.

SYST:CDES?

3You may need to perform some sorting routine to determine which slot it is at and what is the assigned number of its host chassis. If a chassis has six modules in it, then there will be a total of 7 SCPI commands to send to chassis and modules.
