CM4 Four-Point Continuous Monitor

E.7 Serial Device Applications
The serial interface is designed for unidirectional communication from
a CM4 monitor to a single printer or other remote device. It is possible,
therefore, that the application for this interface requires connection to a
remote device other than the printer options described in this appendix.
CAUTION
Cabling used between the CM4 monitor and the external device must
be shielded and properly grounded to maintain reliable operation and
control RF emissions and susceptibility
For these applications, note the pin-out configuration in each of the diagrams.
