HP E1418A manual Module Identification

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.

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.
