Configuration for RS-232 operation
The GPIB/RS-232 MIO card contains a single 8 position configuration switch
(Figure 6). When the position 1 switch is set to ON, the MIO card uses the
RS-232 communication mode. In this mode, the ON switch positions for
switches 2 through 8 are defined in Table 3.
An example setting for this switch is shown in Figure 6.
