Operation 4–4
4.1.9 RS-232 Connector
The RS-232 is a serial port designed to be used for communication between instruments and
control devices such as PCs fitted with a suitable interface card. The instrument is fitted with a
9 way D type female connector. Note that the connecting cable must link 4300 pin 2 to Control
Device pin 3 etc, so straight through 9-way serial cables will not be suitable.
