12 —Printing and Data Ports
Data Output Ports
The Veris monitor supports a variety of communication connections.
The communications ports are located along the left edge of the back
of the remote display. The ports are as follows:
• COM1 Port, RS232 Serial DB-9
• COM2 Port, MiniDIN 8, Service/Analog
NOTE: Any serial cables connected to the ports must be IEC 950 or
IEC 60950 compliant. Any peripherals connected to the monitoring
devices must be IEC 950 or IEC 60950 compliant.
COM1 Port
The monitor uses a serial port (DB-9 female) for the external data
output port and for loading system software updates. The monitor
uses a standard RS232 communication protocol with no flow control.
NOTE: This connection has a protective cover that needs to be
removed before use.

SERIAL PRINTING
The COM 1 port supports sending data to an external serial printer or
computer terminal. To send the data as described in the beginning of
this section to the COM 1 port, the print device must be set to Serial
in the CONFIG menu. Printing is then routed to the COM1 port
instead of the internal printer.
Set the serial format to TEXT in the CONFIG menu to simulate the
tabular printout of the internal printer. Set the serial format to CSV in
the CONFIG menu to create a “comma separated variable” table. The
CSV format can be used by software programs. A description of the
CSV format is located at the end of this section.
