an optical cable.
Either a USB or an RS-232C interface optical cable can be used for
communication.
Procedure

2. Once the USB cable is connected and the USB driver is installed, a
virtual RS-232COM port is created on the computer. (Only when using
a USB optical cable)
• The remote interface is a serial binary data interchange, which
operates from 2400 to 19200 baud rate.
• The communication port of the 3801-50, 3802-50 is designed in full
duplex, which makes the meter more reliable and efficient in data
taking.
