Connecting to Ockam Instruments

Navigator connects to Ockam instruments via Ockam’s Model 050D RS-232 Interface (which you must supply). You must also set two switches on the Ockam unit.

Note: You can connect Navigator to any model Ockam RS-232 Interface; however, to ensure optimum reliability of the data transfer, we recommend that you use Ockam Model 050D.

To connect to an Ockam Model 050D RS-232 Interface:

1.Set Switch S1 on Model 050D to 4.

2.Set Switch S2 to D.

3.Refer to Figure A-1 and Table A-9 to make the required cable connections.
