The SDM-AO4A is a synchronously addressed data logger peripheral. Control
Ports 1, 2, and 3, are used to address an SDM-AO4A and send out the digital
millivolt settings for subsequent analog output. Addressing allows multiple
SDM peripherals to be connected to one data logger.
The SDM-AO4A has sixteen possible addresses, as shown in TABLE 5-1. The
address is hardware selectable using the rotary switch on the SDM-AO4A. All
SDM-AO4As are shipped with the address set at zero. Address 15 (switch
setting F) is reserved for the SDMTrigger() instruction.

The SDM-AO4A can be operated in ±5 V mode or 10 V mode. In each of these
modes, the SDM-AO4A can operate synchronously or sequentially.
In synchronous mode, all channels are set at the same time. This mode is
slower since for large changes in voltage it may take multiple charging cycles
to arrive at the final voltage. The steps occur at 5 ms intervals, thus, for a 10V
step in output voltage it may take up to three charge cycles (or 15 ms) to settle
to the 16-bit level. For most slowly changing signals, it will settle in a single
charge cycle.
