RS-232 

The Product’s RS-232 port is configured as DTE (data terminal equipment). Use 

a null-modem cable with two female 9-pin subminiature D connectors, such as 

Fluke item number 2200962. The bus protocol is 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, 

and no flow control. The baud rate is selectable from 1200 to 38400. 
Response data is terminated with CR or LF or a combination depending on the 

Termination setting (see 

Remote

). The Product accepts CR or LF or both when it 

receives commands. 
To configure the RS-232 interface: 
1. Push 

. 

2.  Push the Instrument softkey 

. 

3.  Push the Remote softkey 

. 

4. Push 

 

 or 

, then 

 to change Serial Baud Rate. 

5.  Push the Done softkey 

 to return to the first screen. 

Test 

Once the remote interface is set up, test several commonly used commands: 
1.  Run terminal software such as PuTTY. 
2.  Select the COM port associated with the Product. 
3.  Select the matching baud rate. 
4.  Type the command SYST:BEEP:IMM and push Enter on the remote 

computer. The Product should beep. 

5.  Type the command *IDN? and push Enter on the remote computer. Product 

information should appear in the terminal window. 

6.  Type the commands SOUR:SPO 50 (push Enter on the remote computer) 

and OUTP:STAT 1 (push Enter on the remote computer). The Product should 

begin to heat to 50 

°

. (Be sure to include a space between the command and 

the parameter.) 

7.  Type the command SOUR:SENS:DATA? and push Enter on the remote 

computer. The fluid temperature should be returned. 

8.  Type the command SYST:ERR? and push Enter on the remote computer. 

The response should be 0, “No error”.
