RS-232 Interface Configuration

DB-25 Serial Connection
If your computer or terminal has a 25-pin serial
port with a male connector, use the null-modem cable and 25-pin adapter
included with the
Agilent 34398A Cable Kit
. The cable and adapter pin
diagram are shown below.
DTR/DSR Handshake Protocol
The power supply is configured as a DTE (
Data Terminal Equipment
)
device and uses the DTR (
Data Terminal Ready
) and DSR (
Data Set Ready
)
lines of the RS-232 interface to handshake. The power supply uses the DTR
line to send a hold-off signal. The DTR line must be TRUE before the power
supply will accept data from the interface. When the power supply sets the
DTR line FALSE, the data must cease within 10 characters.
To disable the DTR/DSR handshake,
do not
connect the DTR line and tie the
DSR line to logic TRUE. If you disable the DTR/DSR handshake, also select a
slower baud rate to ensure that the data is transmitted correctly.
The power supply sets the DTR line FALSE in the following cases:
1
When the power supply’s input buffer is full (when approximately 100
characters have been received), it sets the DTR line FALSE (pin 4 on the
RS-232 connector). When enough characters have been removed to make
space in the input buffer, the power supply sets the DTR line TRUE, unless
the second case (see next) prevents this.
