F2 15-Pin D-SUB (DB15): Connect to stages with both open- and closed-loop operation. Please refer to
Figure 6 and Table 1 for pin assignment and signal definition.
F3 RS-232: Connects to a computer for command-line control. Please refer to Figure 7 and Table 2 for pin
assignment and signal definition.
