5.2. opto-LINK
The optional opto-LINK cable
can be used to transfer setup
and calibration information
from a PC (eg. to be stored for
later use and/or transferred to
other instruments). It can also
be used to download software
upgrades to the instrument
from a PC.
•
Attach the opto-LINK cable to the PC using the DB9 or USB
connector.
•
Attach the opto-LINK head to the left side of the instrument
display using the permanent magnet located within the head of
the opto-LINK.
WARNING: The opto-LINK head contains a strong magnet and care
should be taken with its proximity to electronic media (eg. credit
cards, floppy disks, etc.) and/or other electronic instrumentation.
5.2.1. opto-LINK Activation
A long press of the <GROSS/NET> key will toggle the opto-LINK
infrared communications On/Off.
When the opto-LINK has been (enabled) the following will occur:
•
The instrument briefly displays the prompt opto-L .
•
The editing annunciators (ie. GRP, ITM, etc.) will flash for up to
five minutes while the instrument searches for activity. During
this period, the instrument also disables the RS-232
communications.
•
After a 5 minute period of no activity, the opto-LINK will be
disabled and the editing annunciators will stop flashing. The
instrument will revert back to the normal RS-232
communications (ie. The SERIAL:TYPE setting will be re-
activated).
