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 number.

Acluster (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).

Arack (the middle address digit), is numbered 0-F (0-15 decimal) for a total of 16 racks per cluster. (NOTE: The 98RK-1front-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.

Example:

Request model number from any NetScannerSystem module: “q00

Read response indicating a Model 9816:

"9816"

Request TCP back-off delay for any NetScannerSystem module: “q07

Read hex (16-bit binary) response: "001F" (31 decimal, or 31*20= 620 µsec.)
