10 Digital Communication Interface
The CTR –80 Bath calibrator is capable of communicating with and being con-
trolled by other equipment through the digital serial interface.
With a digitalinterface the instrument may be connected to a computer or other
equipment. This allows the user to set the set-point temperature, monitor the
temperature, and access any of the other controller functions, all using remote
communications equipment. Communications commands are summarized in
Table3 on page 50.

10.1 Serial Communications

The bath is installed with an RS-232 serial interface that allows serial digital
communications over fairlylong distances. With the serial interface the user
may access any of the functions, parameters and settings discussed in Section 9
with the exception of the baud rate setting.
