Serial Port Pin Connectors
An optional CA-47 cable (or equivalent) connects ChartScan to the computer. The ChartScan side of the cable has a
male DB9 connector for use with the RS-232/422 serial port. The cable’s computer side has 2 connectors: one for
DB9, and the other for DB25. Other crossover-type cables can be used if wired as shown in the figure. The
following table lists the RS-232 and RS-422 pin connections for a DB9.
