The interface contains the connection points for the synchronization and RS422 or RS232 serial
communication.
The serial RS232/RS422 is interfaced on the multipoint connector interface (9 pins). Serial
communication are mostly used for sending command as a hyper-terminal, and can also support data
transfer. The maximum transfer rate RS232/RS422 is 1843200 Bd.

RS422 (differential signaling) Interface, internally terminated,
no handshaking
RS232 interface, RTS/CTS handshaking possible
Positive slope from 0V to 5-24V causes according to the
settings of the sensor:
starts the continuous measurement, if the command
wait for trigger was received first (TRG Command)
starts the single measurement in mode trigger each
(TRE Command)
When in TRW mode, a positive slope starts continuous
measuring, a negative slope stops the measurement
the input has an internal 10 kΩ pullup-resistor to 5 V.
Positive slope 0 V to 5 V with the start of each measurement.
