4.5. Connecting a Computer

If you wish to monitor the test with a computer, connect a null modem cable to the serial connector at the rear of the instrument. Use any serial port communications program (not provided) on your computer to read the reports transmitted from the MAX 5000XL serial port. The content of each message can be selected from the REPORT SETUP menu which is described on page 51.

The MAX 5000XL is equipped with RS-232 serial communications available at a 9-pin standard serial communications socket at the rear of the instrument. The standard communications parameters used are 115.2 kbits/s, no parity, eight data bits, and one stop bit. Refer to your computer communications program manual for instructions on configuring the computer to read this data format.

The MAX 5000XL does not test to see if the computer is actually connected or ready to receive data. It does not respond to a request from the computer for status information.

The MAX 5000XL can send data to both the RS-232 serial port and the parallel printer port at the same time. However, the graph that can be printed by the printer is not in a format that can be received by the computer. Therefore, the graph will not be sent to the RS-232 serial port.

If you have any questions about connecting a printer or computer to your MAX 5000XL, call AZI Customer Service at 800-528-7411 or 602-470-1414.
