RS232C Use the RS-232-C interface on the rear panel to allow remote control by a host computer. These are simple descriptions of the RS-232-C connection and RS-232-C parameter setting. For further details, see the AWG2000 series Programmer Manual.
RS232C Connection. To select the RS-232-C port, select RS232C for Remote Port [UTILITY menu Misc (bottom menu) Config... (side menu) Remote Port (sub-menu)].
A cable is connected between the computer and this instrument's RS-232-C connector. The AWG2021 must be configured as the data communications equipment (DCE) and the host computer must be configured as the data terminal equipment (DTE).
Setting the RS232C Parameters. The RS-232-C parameters for both devices must match to allow communication between this instrument and the host computer.
Before communicating with the connected computer, the RS-232-C parameters are set with the menu in Figure 3 -186. Press the side button for the desired parameter and set it with the general purpose knob.
