DATA Outputs
Data I/O Connector
The indicator has an 8 pin data I/O connector with several supported communication protocols.
These communication protocols can be accessed using a dedicated cable or through custom wiring
using the Pigtail cable.
Serial ASCII Command Protocol (USB/RS232/UART)
The gage supports several "serial" interfaces that interact with the device using a human readable
ASCII command protocol. This protocol can be accessed over USB as a virtual com (CDC) device,
RS232 or TTL level UART. For all hardware implementations, the specifications and command set
are identical.
