The Z500 can perform no-protocol communications with an external device, such as a personal 

computer, via RS-232C. The same communications settings must be used on both the Z500 and the

external device. 

 REFERENCE

For details on setting communications specifications, refer to page 145.

 CHECK

Commands can be input only when the Z500 is in Run Mode. Do not use the terminal

blocks for input or output during command execution.

At least 100 ms is required to output a measurement result after receiving a command via

RS-232C.
