Hardware Interface (Interface Type)

Description

This menu item configures the hardware connection used for an AI296 link. The following hardware connections are available:

zRS232—A data transmission standard that defines the characteristics for connecting DTE and DCE data communications devices.

zRS530—A data transmission standard that is similar to RS232, but with support for higher data rates (ranging from 20 Kbps to 2 Mbps).
