7. BEFORE communicating from the host, power on the instruments and check that
the Machine ID (Section 4.11.1) is unique for each. On the front panel menu, use
SETUP>MORE>COMM>ID. The default ID is typically the model number or “0”; to
change the 4-digit identification number, press the button below the digit to be
changed; once changed, press/select ENTER to accept the new ID for that
instrument.
8. Next, in the SETUP>MORE>COMM>COM1 menu (do not use the COM2 menu for
multidrop), edit the COM1 MODE parameter as follows: press/select EDIT and set
only QUIET MODE, COMPUTER MODE, and MULTIDROP MODE to ON. Do not
change any other settings.
9. Press/select ENTER to accept the changed settings, and ensure that COM1 MODE
now shows 35.
10. Press/select SET> to go to the COM1 BAUD RATE menu and ensure it reads the
same for all instruments (edit as needed so that all instruments are set at the same
baud rate).
NOTES:
 The (communication) Host instrument can address only one instrument at a time,
each by its unique ID (see Step 7 above).
 Teledyne API recommends setting up the first link, between the Host and the first
analyzer, and testing it before setting up the rest of the chain.
