●
Operating the instrument from an external device
You can remotely operate the instrument from an external device (ex.PC) via the RS-
232C communication. Use the serial cable to connect the serial connector on the
instrument side and the serial port on the PC.
When using this function, pay attention to the following points.
・
Use the optional serial cable to connect the unit to a PC (“ Options ” (page 69)).
・
Make sure that the transfer formats used in the instrument and a PC are the same.
When different transfer formats are used, a communication error occurs and the
online mode does not start up, and as a result RS-232C communication cannot be
performed. Also, when the transfer format is changed, turn OFF the power of the
instrument and PC and then reboot them.
The transfer format of the instrument is as follows.
・
Baud rate: 2400 bps
・ Character length: 8 bits
・
Parity: None
・
Stop bit: 1 bit

Note
・
If you are not using the RS-232C communication, close the connector cover tightly.
・
While using the RS-232C communication, the instrument is not dust-proof or waterproof.
Do not use the RS-232C communication in a dusty place or with wet hands.
