bus . A device may be assigned a "type" through this screen .
If a device takes more than one address, the first address must
be used to define the device type and the clock will automati-
cally assign all (consecutive) addresses to the device .
The address assignment on the bus map must always
match the Bus Scan display . If they do not, errors will ac-
cumulate and devices may not function properly .
If more than one device is assigned the same address, there
may be address collisions that may be causing instability .

and serial number of every device on the bus .

the bus . If more than one device is assigned the same ad-

To view the serial#, device type and address of every de-
vice on the bus, highlight "ENTER" and press ENTER .
If any collisions are detected, the screen will display the se-
rial number for any device that is colliding with the device
being viewed . One of these devices may then be assigned
a different address to eliminate the collision .
