Appendix B: RS-232 Connector Wiring
The RS-232 connector on the back of the laser controller is a standard
female 9-pin D-connector. The laser controller transmits data on pin 2
and receives data on pin 3 (see below). If you have trouble
communicating with the laser over the RS-232 port, you may need to
use a null-modem adapter or cable.
