5.4 Codes
The codes referenced in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 are defined here:
SOH - Start of header, ASCII (1) or Chr$(1)

ADR - Mass flow meter address, this is one ASCII
character. In a normal configuration each
transmitter has a unique ADR. This character
allows the programs to select any one of several
meters. The default address which is ‘0’ causes
all meters to ignore their ADR and respond
regardless of their address setting.
✶ Note. If multiple meters are on line, sending

commands to ADR ‘0’ will cause all meters to obey the
command immediately. This can be used to synchronise
different meters in batching applications, for example.
However, DO NOT send commands to ADR ‘0’ which
would cause the meters to output data, otherwise all
meters attempt to talk simultaneously, causing
communication errors.
