16. DATA OUTPUT TO EXTERNAL EQUIPMENT
The measured data can be exported to a remote computer through the connector X2.
To export the output data, you must to apply the voltage of 3 to 8 V from the connected computer to the pin 9 of the connector X2. The amplitude of the output signals will depend on the value of the supplied voltage.
The measured range information is exported in cycles by a binary decimal code through four data and three address buses according to Table 16.1.
The strobe starting the data export appears on pin 8 of the connector X2 in form of a positive pulse edge.

In each cycle, the digits of the binary decimal data code are delivered to the pins of connector X2 in accordance with the schematic circuit diagram of the range finder given in Fig.3.
The rangefinder is operable in the temperature range between – 40 and +50 °C, relative air humidity of up to 98% (as taken at
35 °C), air pressure of 61 kPa (460 mm Hg) minimum, and in the sea mist conditions. It is powered with a rechargeable battery 10
Upon receipt of the rangefinder and prior to operation the user should proceed as follows:
-check to see that the seals on the wooden and metallic packaged are intact;
-check completeness of the range finder against Section 5 of this manual;
-check to see that the serial number of the rangefinder is the same as indicated in Sections
-make sure that the optical surfaces are free from grease stains, dirt, cracks and condensed moisture. Remove dirt and grease as directed in item 1 of table 11.1;
-inspect the range finder exterior for physical damage (no cracks, dents, deep rust are admitted);
-check the dehydrator for working condition. If the silica gel is pink in color, replace it with the new one taken from individual SPTA set (item 11.6.3);
-place the battery in operation as directed in Section 16 of this
manual | (the rechargeable battery is supplied uncharged). |
