10. Remote Communication 

This chapter mainly covers the following: 

 

RS-232 Interface and Connection 

 

RS-485 Interface 

 

USB Interface 

 

Communication Protocol 

 

The instrument uses RS-232 interface (standard configuration) to communicate with the 

computer to complete all the functions. Through standard SCPl commands, users can also 

easily compile various collection systems suitable for themselves. 

10.1 RS-232C 

RS-232  is  a  widely  used  serial  communication  standard,  also  known  as  asynchronous 

serial communication standard, used to realize data communication between computers 

and  between  computers  and  peripherals.  RS  is  the  abbreviation  of  "Recommended 

Standard",  and  232  is  the  standard  number.  This  standard  is  officially  published  by  the 

Electronic Industry Association (ElA) in 1969. It stipulates that it is transmitted via a data 

wire one bit at a time. 

The configuration of most serial ports is usually not strictly based on the RS-232 standard: 

each port  uses a  25-core  connector  (now  computers  basically  use a  9-core connector). 

The most commonly used RS-232 signals are shown in the table:

the instrument.
