remote initiate function (see below). A resistance of about 200 ohms or less will be
interpreted as continuity. Although the signal is low power and transformer isolated, it
is good practice to avoid touching any conductive surface connected to these
terminals. CAUTION: NEVER CONNECT THESE TERMINALS TO ANY LIVE CIRCUIT!
REMOTE INITIATE:
In C.L. mode only, the CONTACTS jacks provide a remote initiate
function. For safety reasons, this function is disabled in MAINTAIN mode, unless a
preset value is set in CYCLES time base.
SERIAL port:
This standard serial port may be connected to a printer, computer, or
other device to print or store time and current values of test results in ASCII format. It
is set for 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, no flow control. This information is sent
at the end of each test, or by pressing the Stop and Reset keys.
Report Generator Software Option:
we also offer a software package for a Windows
based computer that takes the data from the serial port and inserts time and current
values into an excel document. Must have Microsoft office installed for this software to
function properly. This can be custom tailored to Your excel document or use the
generic document that is provided with the software
