Selecting and configuring RS-232 interface
After selecting (enabling) the RS-232 interface, you will then set the baud rate, flow
control, and terminator.
1. Press the SHIFT key and then the RS-232 key. The RS 232 ON or RS 232 OFF
message will be displayed.
2. If the RS-232 is already ON, press ENTER and proceed to step 3. Otherwise, press
the
 key to place the cursor on OFF, press the Δ or ∇ key to display the ON
state, and then press ENTER.
NOTE Enabling (ON) the RS-232 interface disables (OFF) the GPIB. Disabling the
RS-232 interface enables the GPIB.
3. To retain the presently displayed BAUD rate, press ENTER and proceed to step 4.
Otherwise, press the
 key to place the cursor on the baud rate value, use the Δ or
∇ key to display the desired baud rate, and then press ENTER.
4. To retain the presently displayed FLOW control, press ENTER and proceed to step
5. Otherwise, press the
 key to place the cursor on the flow control setting, use
the
Δ or ∇ key to display the alternate flow control setting, and then press
ENTER.
5. To retain the presently displayed terminator (Tx TERM), press ENTER. Otherwise,
press the
 key to place the cursor on the terminator setting, use the Δ or ∇ key to
display the desired terminator, and then press ENTER.
RS-232 connections
The RS-232 serial port is connected to the serial port of a computer using a straight-
through RS-232 cable terminated with DB-9 connectors. Do not use a null modem cable.
The serial port uses the transmit (TXD), receive (RXD), and signal ground (GND) lines of
the RS-232 standard. It does not use the hardware handshaking lines, CTS and RTS.
Figure 10-4 shows the rear panel connector for the RS-232 interface, and Table 10-2
shows the pinout for the connector.
If your computer uses a DB-25 connector for the RS-232 interface, you will need a cable
or adapter with a DB-25 connector on one end and a DB-9 connector on the other, wired
straight through (not null modem).
