Serial Interface Specifications
The digital interface for serial communication is based on the standard
RS-232 protocol. The Radical-7 by default always outputs ASCII 1 text
data through the serial port, unless the user selects a different output
mode. To interface with the Radical-7 and receive serial text data, connect
a serial interface cable with a ferrite bead installed to the serial output
connector located on the back of the Radical-7 Docking Station. The
Radical-7 serial interface is only available when the Radical-7 Handheld is
properly attached to the Docking Station. Once serial communication is
established, packets of data are communicated at 1 second intervals. See
Device Settings on page 116.
