Connection to a Terminal or Printer (RS-232)
The RS-232 connector on the meter’s rear panel is a 9-pin connector
(DB-9, male connector). You can connect the meter to any terminal or
printer with a properly configured DTE connector (DB-25). You can use a
standard serial interface cable and the 34399A Adapter Kit to make
connections. Additional information about the interface is given on
page 176.
