6.6 Communication
Saved results can be transferred to a PC (ET4500 only). A special communication
program on the PC automatically identifies the instrument and enables data transfer
between the instrument and the PC.
There are two communication interfaces available on the instrument: USB and RS 232.
6.6.1 USB and RS232 communication
The instrument automatically selects the communication mode according to the
detected interface. The USB interface has priority.
