Communication Interfaces

The CESAR generator has several possible interface options. The following 
figures illustrate the available interface combinations for the Model 1312 
CESAR generator. The sections that follow describe each interface.

Note:

To determine which interface options you have, see 

“Understanding 

Model 1312 Options” on page 1-2
