10 Digital Communication Interface
10.1.1Wiring
The serial communications ca- ble attaches to the calibrator through the
10.1.2Setup
Before operation the serial in- terface must first be set up by programming the baud rate and other configuration parameters. These parameters are pro- grammed within the serial inter- face menu. The serial interface parameters menu is outlined in Figure 4 on page 36.

To enter the serial parameter
programming mode first press “EXIT” while pressing “SET” and release to en- ter the secondary menu. Press “SET” repeatedly until the display reads “PAr”. Press “UP” until the serial interface menu is indicated with“SErIAL”. Finally press “SET” to enter the serial parameter menu. In the serial interface parame- ters menu are the baud rate, the sample rate, the duplex mode, and the linefeed parameter.
10.1.2.1Baud Rate
The baud rate is the first parameter in the menu. The display prompts with the baud rate parameter by showing “bAUd”. Press “SET” to choose to set the baud rate. The current baud rate value is displayed. The baud rate of the instru- ment serial communications may be programmed to 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600 baud. The baud rate is
