protocols involved.

It should also be noted, given the different protocols, that V7 de-
vices must be operated separately from V5 / V6 devices via their
own dedicated interface.
13.6.1.1 Device address and networking
on leaving our factory, in the function ´Device address´, the number is normally
set to 00. This can be modified as desired by entering the appropriate data as
usual. (see 9.7).

In network operation consecutive numbers between 01 and 99
should be used; this ensures that device 00 is not addressed un-
necessarily in the event of interruption to the power supply.
13.6.1.2 Baud rate, data format
On leaving our factory the baud rate for all interface modules is programmed to
9600 baud. In order to avoid unnecessary problems when networking several
devices together the baud rate should not be altered; rather the computer or
printer should be set to match. If this is for some reason not possible, you can,
in the function ´Baud rate´, via a selection box, choose from the values 600 /
1200 / 2400 / 4800 / 9600 baud or 57.6 / 115.2 / 230.4 / 460.8 / 921.6 kbaud
(taking care not to exceed the maximum baud rate for the interface module).
The baud rate setting is saved to the EEPROM on the interface module and
thus applies when any other ALMEMO
Data format 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity (cannot be changed)
13.6.1.3 Output per scan cycle
In the course of a measuring operation measured data is output to the inter-
face by default per output cycle. However, by enabling the option ´Output per
scan cycle´ data can also be output directly per scan cycle; this is usually
quicker. (see 10.1.2).
13.6.1.4 Allow oversampling of data output
With this option all standard channels being scanned at the conversion rate are
always output - even if they have not yet been measured again.

13.6.2 Macros

In this menu 5 macros can be entered and saved, i.e. a list of serial commands
that can be executed either as trigger events or as limit value actions. (see
Manual 6.6.5) The individual commands are listed in the Manual Ch. 6 or 7;
they are separated one from the other by the pipe character ´|´.
The menu ´Macros´ lists all 5 macros that have been set and / or modified by
normal entry. (see 9.7).
