Attention!! Be sure to mount the connectors properly (screw tightly!) to the control unit;
otherwise malfunctions may appear.
Attention!! There is no heating available for the control unit MDC 3090A-FA.
7.5.1. Serial interface: Sub-D, 9-pin
The serial interface is structured according to SCPI standard. It works with software handshake,
the hardware handshake connections are not used.
