3.10. opto-LINK (Optional)
A temporary infrared communications link can be established between the
instrument and a PC using an optional opto-LINK cable. The optional opto-LINK
cable can be used to transfer setup and calibration information from a PC (eg. to be
stored for later use and/or transferred to other instruments). It can also be used to
download software upgrades to the instrument from a PC.
The PC end of the opto-LINK cable is a standard female DB9 connector, or USB
connector. The instrument end of the cable consists of an infrared transceiver,
which attaches to the left side of the instrument display. To facilitate a quick and
simple connection, the infrared transceiver is secured in place by a permanent
magnet located within the head of the opto-LINK.
Refer to opto-LINK Activation page 23 for more information.
WARNING
The opto-LINK head contains a strong magnet and care should be taken with
its proximity to electronic media (eg. credit cards, floppy disks, etc.) and/or
other electronic instrumentation.
