The data is transmitted in the form of ASCII codes. All ASCII codes given in
the following text are decimal numbers.
Control Lines
Pins 4, 5, 6, 8 and 20 are control lines. For control lines, RS–232 specifies
that:
•
A voltage above +3V signify the “on” state.
•
A voltage below –3V signifies the “off” state.
The use of the control lines is described in
1.4.1 Interconnection
A null-modem cable must be used to interface the Monitor to another DTE-
coupled device (computer or printer), so that the DTEs appear to each other
to behave like modems. The null-modem cross connections which should be
used with the Monitor are given in Fig. 1.11.

1.4.2 Interface Set-up
The Set-Up tree enables you to specify the RS-232 interface set-up of the
Monitor. The selections are :SET-UP — CONFIGURATION — SYSTEM —
COMMUNICATION — RS–232–C.
WARNING! You must partially reset the Monitor if the RS–232 configuration
is changed, for example, if the baud rate is changed. See the Instruction
Manual for details.
