Communicating with PC

This instrument allows two-way communication via RS-232C or USB.

1. Communicating with PC via RS-232C

Before setting the POWER switch to ON, connect a RS-232C cable (for 9-pin D-sub female) to the RS-232C
connector on the instrument. Refer to the following for the wiring diagram.

[Connecting Method]

. Set the POWER switch to OFF (

. Connect the instrument to the computer with the RS-

232C cable.

. Connect the cable to the connector and secure them

with two screws firmly.

● When disconnecting the RS-232C cable, set the POWER switch to

OFF

(

)

first, and pull the cable by holding the plug. Never pull the

cable by its cord.
