CMU Hardware Interfaces
1100.4903.12 8.5 E-8
Serial Interfaces (COM 1, COM 2)
The CMU is equipped with two serial RS-232-C interfaces. The two assigned 9-pin standard Sub-D
male connectors are designated with COM 1 and COM 2 and located on the rear panel. A controller
can be connected via this interface for remote control.
The two RS-232 interfaces provide two independent channels which can be active simultaneously.
However, setting commands and queries act on the same device hardware. The interfaces are
activated and configured in the Setup - Remote menu or via remote control using the commands
