7.8 Serial COM1 – COM2 Ports (COM1, COM2)
Two RS232 serial ports are available on the KTQ87/KTH81.
The typical definition of the signals in the COM ports is as follows:
Signal Description
TxD
Transmitted Data, sends data to the communications link. The signal is set to the marking state (-
12V) on hardware reset when the transmitter is empty or when loop mode operation is initiated.
RxD Received Data, receives data from the communications link.
DTR
