OMMUNICATION
Refractive Index detector RI2000 – Serial RS232 Interface – Firmware V 5.02
The RS232 port is used for the communication of detector and computer.
The following option can be used to acquire data and control RI2000 refractive index detector.
a)
Clarity data acquisition software and instrument control from DATAAPEX.
b)
Special designed software solutions depending on the customer´s need
c)
Simple software solutions like Windows HyperTerminal or Putty or special macros for
Microsoft Excel
DigIN for Start signal
TTL-LOW or SHORT
