Remote Operation (RS-232)
There are two rear-panel serial data RS-232 ports: SERIAL 1 FROM HOST, and
SERIAL 2 TO UUT (see Figure 1-2). Each port is dedicated to serial data
communications for operating and controlling the 5522A during calibration procedures.
For complete information on remote operations, see Chapter 5.
The SERIAL 1 FROM HOST serial data port connects a host terminal or personal
computer to the Calibrator. You have several choices for sending commands to the
Calibrator: you can enter commands from a terminal (or a PC running a terminal
program), you can write your own programs using BASIC, or you can run optional
Windows-based software such as 5500/CAL or MET/CAL. The 5500/CAL Software
includes more than 200 example procedures covering a wide range of test tools the
5522A can calibrate. (See Chapter 6 for a discussion of the RS-232 commands.)
The SERIAL 2 TO UUT serial data port connects a UUT to a PC or terminal via the
5522A (see Figure 1-2). This “pass-through” configuration eliminates the requirement for
two COM ports at the PC or terminal. A set of four commands control the operation of
the SERIAL 2 TO UUT serial port. See Chapter 6 for a discussion of the UUT_*
commands. The SERIAL 2 TO UUT port is also used to connect to the Fluke 700 Series
Pressure Modules.

Remote Operation (IEEE-488)
The rear panel IEEE-488 port is a fully programmable parallel interface bus meeting
standard IEEE-488.1 and supplemental standard IEEE-488.2. Under the remote control of
an instrument controller, the Calibrator operates exclusively as a “talker/listener.” You
