Control

 

 

This chapter provides the following information to remotely control the AT516 via 
the RS-232C or USB interface. 

 

About RS-232C 

 

About USB Interface 

 

Select Baud Rate. 

 

About SCPI 

AT516 can use the RS-232 interface or USB interface to communicate with the 

computer to complete all the instrument functions.

About

 

RS

‐

232C

 

You can connect a controller (i.e. PC and PLC) to the RS-232 interface using 

Applent RS-232 DB-9 cable. The serial port uses the transmit (TXD), receive (RXD) and 
signal ground (GND) lines of the RS-232 standard. It does not use the hardware 
handshaking lines CTS and RTS. 

 

NOTE: 
JUST ONLY Use an Applent (not null modem) DB-9 cable. 
Cable length should not exceed 2m.

Make sure the controller you connect to AT516 also uses these settings. 

The RS-232 interface transfers data using:   

8 data bits,   
1 stop bit, 
And no parity.
