RS-232 Connection
A null modem (crossed) cable is required when connecting the analyzer to
an IBM Compatible PC. However, a straight cable (one to one) may be
required when connecting the analyzer to other remote devices. As a general
rule, when the connector of the host remote device is female, a straight cable
is required and when the connector is male, a null modem cable is required.
