RS232 Communication
The RS232 port provides the customer with
bi-directional data transfer via a three-conductor cable
consisting of signal ground, receive input, and transmit
output.
It is recommended that less than fifty feet of
shielded cable be used between the computer and this
instrument.
Use a straight DB9 (female) to DB9 (male)
connector cable to connect your computer to the
BB-4A. The cable should be attached only when the
computer and BB-4A are off.
For detailed RS232 communication functionality, refer
to the User’s Guide (M3014).

call (TRCIIIA) or a cold junction compensator (CJ,
MCJ, SMCJ).
