2. Press the COMMANDS softkey.
3. Press the Fluke 45 softkey.
Operating with FlukeView Forms’
When first powered up, FlukeView Forms sends remote commands to the serial port
asking an instrument to identify itself. Because the Meter does not recognize the
commands for the other instruments, an error indication (Syntax error [-102]) is shown on
the Meter’s front panel. This is considered normal operation. See FlukeView Forms
documentation for information on setting up that application. When controlling the Meter
with FlukeView Forms, ECHO must be set to NO ECHO.
Interconnections
The Meter communicates with a host through a DB-9 interface connector on the rear
panel of the Meter. Connect the Meter to the host or terminal using a cable appropriate to
your application that is less than 50 feet (15 meters) long. Longer cables are permitted,
providing that the load capacitance measured at the interface point (including the signal
terminator) does not exceed 2500 picofarads.
Figure 1 shows the pin-out of the Meter’s RS-232 port, and two possible cable
connections for communicating with a PC.
