8.1 Data Output via the Serial Interface
It is possible to transfer all the data relevant to a measurement using the serial interface to a
connected computer. This data includes all the measuring parameters specified in the active settings,
the content of the 400 size channels and all the values calculated from the current cursor settings.
To enable the CASY TT to output the measured data via the serial interface, the
Interface
parameter
must be set to
Ser
or
P + S
in the current setup. If the
Print Mode
is set to
Auto
, the data are
automatically exported after every measurement. If
is set to
Manual
, the data are output by
pressing
on the control panel. The data are exported in text format (ASCII) and the individual
values are separated by CR/LF.
To be able to accept the data, your computer requires an available serial interface. The connection
is established by a straight serial transfer cable with a minimum of three signal lines (T×D, R×D and
SignalGround).
The CASY TT uses the following
Transfer parameters
:
Baudrate: 19200
Parity: None
Databits: 8
Stopbits: 1
To export size distributions and measuring results into MS-Excel (PC) using a fully automated pro-
cess, you can use the
CASY excell
software program delivered with the system. The CASY System
package also includes the serial connection cable required for data transfer.
