Operating the instrument from an external device
You can remotely operate the instrument from an external device (such as PC) via RS-
232C communication or USB communication. Use a serial cable or a USB cable to
connect the serial connector or the USB connector on the instrument and the serial port
or the USB port on the PC.
When using this function, pay attention to the following points.
・
Use the optional serial cable or USB cable to connect the unit to a PC.
・
Make sure that the transfer formats used in the instrument and a PC are the same.
When different transfer formats are used, a communication error occurs and the
online mode does not start up, and as a result RS-232C communication cannot be
performed. Also, when the transfer format is changed, turn OFF the power of the
instrument and PC and then reboot them.
The transfer format of the instrument is as follows.
・
Baud rate: 2400 bps
・
Character length: 8 bits
・
Parity: None
・
Stop bit: 1 bit

Note
・
If you are not using the RS-232C or USB communication, close the connector cover
tightly.
・
While using the RS-232C or USB communication, the instrument is not dust-proof.
Do not use the RS-232C or USBcommunication in a dusty place or with wet hands.
