5.5 RS-232 Interface

The RS-232 communications protocol allows the instrument to be connected to a wide variety of computer based equipment. The interface provides two basic functions in the M200AU.

1.First is a comprehensive command interface for operating and diagnosing the analyzer.

2.The interface can also provide an audit trail of analyzer events. In this function the port sends out messages about instrument events like calibration or warning messages. If these messages are captured on a printer or remote computer, they provide a continuous audit trail of the analyzers operation and status.
