RS232 Interface

RS232 Interface Connector

The 9-way D-type serial interface connector is located on the instrument rear panel. The pin connections are as shown below:

Pin

Name

Description

1

-

No internal connection

2

TXD

Transmitted data from instrument

3

RXD

Received data to instrument

4

-

No internal connection

5

GND

Signal ground

6

-

No internal connection

7

RXD2

Secondary received data (addressable RS232 only)

8

TXD2

Secondary transmitted data (addressable RS232 only)

9

GND

Signal ground (addressable RS232 only)

Single Instrument RS232 Connections

For single instrument remote control only pins 2, 3 and 5 are connected to the PC. However, for correct operation links must be made in the connector at the PC end between pins 1, 4 and 6 and between pins 7 and 8, see diagram. Pins 7 and 8 of the instrument must not be connected to the PC, i.e. do not use a fully wired 9–way cable.

Baud Rate is set as described above in Address and Baud Rate Selection; the other parameters are fixed as follows:

Start Bits:

1

Parity: None

Data Bits:

8

Stop Bits: 1

Addressable RS232 Connections

For addressable RS232 operation pins 7, 8 and 9 of the instrument connector are also used. Using a simple cable assembly, a 'daisy chain' connection system between any number of instruments, up to the maximum of 32 can be made, as shown below:

The daisy chain consists of the transmit data (TXD), receive date (RXD) and signal ground lines only. There are no control/handshake lines. This makes XON/XOFF protocol essential and allows the inter-connection between instruments to contain just 3 wires. The wiring of the adaptor cable is shown below:
