Serial Data Output
The 5520 serial port uses a DB9 connector on the instru-
ment back panel. This port is for asynchronous serial com-
munication with a printer or computer. It uses standard
non-return-to-zero (NRZ) format at RS-232 voltage levels.
The 5520 checks to see if the RTS (pin 7) is active. When
a sample is assayed while a device is connected to the
5520's RS-232 port, the display status line will show:
To send data to the external device, press ENTER. The
