RS-232 is the primary communication protocol used when the DFG is
communicating and interfaced to the FMM Series digital force tester. The
FMM Series force tester is supplied with an RS-232 cable (p/n L1-RS232).
The cable features two D-sub connectors for connecting to the DFG and
to the back panel on the FMM Series force tester. The cable provide
bidirectional communication between the gage and the test frame.
NOTE
1. When the DFG is interfaced to the FMM, the baud rate is automatically set at 115200.
2. The L1-RS232 cable is used for communicating using RS-232. It is also a signal cable
that can be used with external devices for I/O control and for switch testing.
You may configure the BAUD rate for the RS-232 communications. Baud
options are: 9600, 19,200, 38,400 and 115,200. The default is 115,200.
