RS-232IEEE 488 INTERFACE CONVERTER

3. Getting Started

3.1 Inspection

The interface converter was carefully inspected, both mechanically and electrically, prior to shipment. When you receive it, carefully unpack all items from the shipping carton and check for any obvious signs of damage that may have occurred during shipment. Immediately report any damage found to the shipping agent. Remember to retain all shipping materials in the event that shipment back to the factory becomes necessary.

Every interface converter is shipped with the following:
