Connecting the LI-6400 to a Computer
There are two flavors of RS-232 devices in the world: Data Communications
Equipment (DCE) and Data Terminal Equipment (DTE). In terms of 25 pin
connector pin assignments, DCE devices send data on pin 3, and receive on
pin 2. DTE devices do the opposite. A
null modem
cable interchanges pins 2
and 3 (and 6 with 20) so that DCE can talk to DCE, and DTE (or 9-pin AT)
can talk to DTE (or 9-pin AT). The 1000-09 cable that comes with the
LI-6400 is a null modem cable.
Your computer is probably a DTE (or 9-pin AT) device, although there is no
guarantee of this. Since the LI-6400 is a 9-pin AT device, youÕll need a null
modem cable to communicate with your computer.
Many computers (and most laptops) use a 9-pin AT connector for the
RS-232C port, in which case an adapter cable (such as the 1800-04 from
LI-COR), or a 25-pin to 9-pin adapter is required.
The LI-6400 is configured with a male 9-pin AT connector on the console.
Plug the 9-pin end of the 1000-09 cable into the console, and plug the 25-pin
female connector into the serial port on your PC. If you are connecting to a
9-pin AT serial port on your PC, connect the 1800-04 cable to the 1000-09
(Figure 11-1).
