Communications
The Serinus analyzer has four methods of communication. Each communication
method is used in specific situations for data download, instrument control or both.
The Serinus can perform communication through 4 different paths (RS232, USB, 25
pin Digital/Analog input/output or TCP/IP network (optional). The Serinus also
includes a windows application, the Serinus Communicator, that allows data
download and remote activation from a PC.
