Olympus Magna-Mike 8600 - Table 16 Optional RS-232 Cable

DMTA-10026-01EN, Rev. D, January 2015
Chapter 8 140
The RS-232 cable available for the Magna-Mike 8600 is a 9-pin male connector. To
connect to other RS-232 devices that do not have a 9-pin female connector, a
commercially available adaptor may be required. The RS-232 cable is an option, which
you can specify at the time of order (see Table 16 on page 140).
The serial communication parameter configuration must be the same in both the
Magna-Mike 8600 and the other device. In the Magna-Mike 8600, the baud rate is
selectable (1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400):
• Word length: fixed at 8 characters
• Stop Bits selectable: 1 or 2
• Parity selectable: None, even, or odd
To set up the RS-232 serial communication
1. Refer to the receiving device hardware and software documentation, and set the
receiving device serial communication parameters to values supported by the
Magna-Mike 8600:
a) Set the baud rate to 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, or 38400.
b) Set the stop bits to 1 or 2.
c) Set the parity to none, even, or odd.
2. On the Magna-Mike 8600, in the measurement screen, press [SET UP], and then
highlight COMMUNICATION.
3. In the COMMUNICATION submenu, select CONNECTION TYPE.
4. In the COMMUNICATIONS SETUP screen (see Figure 8-3 on page 141), set
CONNECTION TYPE to RS-232 in order to display the RS-232 parameters.
a) Set the BAUD RATE to the same value as selected in step 1.a above.
b) Set the STOP BITS to the same value as selected in step 1.b above.
c) Set the PARITY to the same value as selected in step 1.c above.
