Serial Interface
The VM-56 incorporate a serial interface. This interface allows the use of a
computer to make measurement parameter settings and to control the mea-
surement. It is also possible to send measurement results (current results as
well as data stored in the memory of the VM-56) to the computer for further
processing.
Standard terminal software (Hyper Terminal, etc.) can also be used as com-
munication client.
