  The LMA200PM moisture analyzer consists of magnetron, weighing module, display and 
control panel and printer. The moisture analyzer is powered over an external power cord. 
Furthermore, the analyzer has an Ethernet interface, an RS-232 interface and a PS/2 
socket.  
You can connect a computer over Ethernet, for example, or use the other ports to connect 
peripheral devices such as a keyboard or barcode scanner.
