Introduction

This chapter describes the interface functions and some general concepts of RS-232-C. The RS-232-C interface on this instrument is Hewlett-Packard’s implementation of EIA Recommended Standard RS-232-C, Interface Between Data Terminal Equipment and Data Communications Equipment Employing Serial Binary Data Interchange. With this interface, data is sent one bit at a time, and characters are not synchronized with preceding or subsequent data characters. Each character is sent as a complete entity without relationship to other events.
