ok, at our physics lab we build these photomultiplier tubes which have jumpers on them that get set to specific addresses... these are (i believe) 12 bit addresses so we have 4096 unique serial numbers to cycle through... i have to write a program to generate these numbers and once a number is used, it has to be tagged so as not to be used again... or however the best way is to handle this...also, previously this had been done through a log book... so i need to input numbers in that have already been used... i'm new at this so basically my question is... what's the best way to start such a program? thank you in advance...
