Generic Instrument Setups

The generic instrument’s data will be stored in certain registers on the host instrument, such as the 9205 controller.  Each instrument is allotted a certain set of registers, starting with register 1000.  To determine the beginning register, use the following calculation: (100 * generic instrument’s number (1 – 16)) + 900.  Therefore, instrument 1 would begin at register 1000: (100 * 1) + 900. Instrument 7 would begin at register 1600: (100 * 7) + 900.  Each instrument is allotted 100 registers, therefore, instrument 1’s allotment is from register 1000 to 1099 on the 9205 controller, instrument 2’s allotment is from register 1100 to 1199 on the 9205 controller, etc.

 

The Generic Instrument Setups menu is split into three parts: Configure Generic Instruments, Configure IP Addresses, and Configure Block Writes.
