All units are of the same PM-number.
All units are set for the same operating mode (see the System 21 manual and
the operating cards of the slave units)
.
No unit is in Execute Unconditional mode (see 8.5)
.
The units have
successive-addres.~s

with settings starting at 0.
The scan is initiated by the command

the
slave address. The execution
is
done with a number of execute commands or
triggers equal to the number of channels to be scanned. Under the above
conditions
a scan cycle will start with the lowest channel number of the unit with
address-switch set to zero and continue along all channels and units. A scan
,
once
initiated, may not be followed by other than execution commands. All other
commands will
cancel the scan.
