There are two external control ports at the rear of the VersaTest. The
Display Unit interface (b, in Fig.2) enables the VersaTest to respond, via
the appropriate Mecmesin cable, to signals from an AFG. Please refer to
your AFG Operating Manual for further details. Communication between
the VersaTest and other external devices (e.g. a PC) is possible via the
RS232 interface (c, in Fig.2) and an appropriate cable.
The VersaTest must be powered off when attaching either cable.
When the interfaces are not in use please ensure that they are
covered with the supplied sheilds at all times.
For further information (on programming/protocol) contact Mecmesin
or their Approved Agent and ask for Technical Datasheet M/512051.
