Check that the parameters programmed in the instrument’s
Serial Data Communication Page
are compatible with those of the
computer terminal or host computer – see Section 7.
If communication is still not possible or is erratic, check that the computer terminal, or host computer, interface has pull-up ant
pull-down resistors connected as shown in Figs. 11.1 and 11.2.
Note.
If no reply is received from the instrument within 160ms, retransmit the command. If after five command re-entries
a satisfactory reply has not been received, the communication link has been broken and must be re-checked.
