SERIAL PORT 10

This connector is a secondary serial port (SERIAL PORT 9 is the primary), and is used for serial data exchange with an external device. Applications might include controlling a mobile station through a proprietary serial bus, entering IBASIC programs, or sending test results from the IBASIC controller to a connected controller, disk drive, or terminal.

Operating Considerations

You must select Port 10 in the Serial Port field on the I/O CONFIGURE screen to define serial communication settings for SERIAL PORT 10.

Do not use SERIAL PORT 10 for connecting the test set to a serial printer. Use

SERIAL PORT 9.

The IBASIC controller sends and receives data to SERIAL PORT 10 using address 10.
