3 Connecting the interface
3.2 RS232
The RS232 interface does not use the handshake lines (RTS, CTS). The RTS
line (CTS on the paperless recorder) coming from the master (PC or notebook)
is not taken into consideration. The response is immediately transmitted from
the paperless recorder. The CTS line of the master (RTS on the paperless
recorder) remains open.
If the used program evaluates the handshake lines, they must be bridged in
the cable.
