Serial Interface
The VM-83 incorporates a serial interface that can be used to set measurement
parameters and control measurement using commands sent from a computer.
Measurement results can also be sent to the computer.
Using SC-31M or SC-31S adapters (option), a single computer can be used to
control up to 16 VM-83 units.
