3.7 Communications Function

Connect the optical connector of the communications
cable to the connector on the holster for the 3801-50.

Communication is not possible if "RS-232C INTERFACE"
is facing downwards.

Connect the other end of the communications cable
to the personal computer.

Start the software. The measurement data is trans-
ferred from the 3801-50 to the personal computer.

Make sure "RS-232C INTERFACE"
is facing upwards

To disconnect the connector from the 3801-50,
squeeze the clips while pulling the connector out.
