1. Introduction
This manual details the extended networking capabilities (communications protocol) of the
5200.
The extended protocol allows for complete calibration and control of a multi-drop network
of up to 32 5200 instruments. This protocol is used by the View5200 program to calibrate
and configure the 5200 instruments. The Viewer TEST tab can be used as a convenient
terminal to test the 5200 communications.
