5.4. rin-LINK
The optional rin-LINK
cable can be used to
transfer setup and
calibration information
from a PC (eg. to be
stored for later use
and/or transferred to
other instruments). It
can also be used to
download software upgrades to the instrument from a PC.
• Attach the rin-LINK cable to the PC using the DB9 connector.
• Attach the rin-LINK head to the left side of the instrument display
using the permanent magnet located within the head of the rin-
LINK.
WARNING: The rin-LINK head contains a strong magnet and care
should be taken with its proximity to electronic media (eg. credit
cards, floppy disks, etc.) and/or other electronic instrumentation.
5.4.1. rin-LINK Activation
A long press of the <GROSS/NET> key will toggle the rin-LINK
infrared communications On/Off.
When the rin-LINK has been (enabled) the following will occur:
• The instrument briefly displays the prompt rin-L.
• The editing annunciators (ie. GRP, ITM, etc.) will flash for up to five
minutes while the instrument searches for activity. During this
period, the R320 also disables the RS-232 communications.
• Activity Located: If the instrument is successful in locating activity,
the editing annunciators will continue to flash during the entire period
of communications.
• No Activity Located: If the instrument fails to locate activity, the
rin-LINK will be disabled and the editing annunciators will stop
flashing. The R320 will also revert back to the normal RS-232
communications (ie. the SERIAL:TYPE setting will be re-activated).
