14.6 Examples of interface configuration
14.6.2 Interface configuration for data
transfer to a computer
Data transfer to a computer usually takes place
through dialog, i.e. the computer can use spe-
cific commands to request measured values or
change settings on the instrument. The follow-
ing interface protocols are suitable for this activ-
ity: MARTALK, M1240, OPTORSD, OPTORSS.
On principle, the ASCII interface protocol is
also suitable, however using this setting means
that data transfer can only be initiated from the
Millimar (by pressing the DATA key) and not
from the computer.
