Serial interface RS 232

The 7 pin connector at the back of the instrument is the bidirectional interface RS 232. It enables data transfer to an external device, e.g. printer, PC or the DR1 Data Recorder from Krautkrämer.

The instrument can also receive data transferred from a PC. All keyboard controls and functions are accessible.

The measurement report and other data can be trans- ferred using A. The COPY MODE in the lower level sets the data communication initiated by A.

The table opposite gives an overlook into RS 232 out- put possibilities of the instrument.

HNote:

Use the correct connection cable for each peripheral. Refer to Chapter 2.
