If the oscilloscope and the personal computer or printer have trouble communi-
cating, use the following steps to correct the problem:
1.
Verify that you are using the correct RS-232 cable. Determine whether your
configuration requires a null-modem connection (where transmit/receive and
control lines are switched) or a straight-through RS-232 connection. Refer to
Table 1--4 on page 1--21 for information about RS-232 cables.
2.
Verify that the RS-232 cable is firmly connected to both the oscilloscope and
the correct port on your personal computer or printer. Verify that your printer
or the program on the personal computer is using the correct port. Try your
program or printer again.
3.
Verify that the oscilloscope settings match the settings used by your printer
or the program on your personal computer. Start by choosing Set RS-232
Parameters to Defaults (located in the I/O System, RS-232 Configuration
menu). Then, change only those menu items that you know need to be
changed, such as the baud rate. Try your printer or computer program again.
4.
If you are trying to control the oscilloscope using a personal computer or
other computer, look at the RS232 Debug menu and examine the RS232
Line status and the Errors. The contents of the Debug menu will not change
while you are viewing them. Turn Debug menu off and back on to see any
changes in the menu. Use Table 1--6 to troubleshoot your setup.

Symptom
Possible causes
Your personal computer program tried
to send characters to the oscilloscope,
but the RS-232 Debug menu last 30
characters received line is empty.
Your RS-232 cable may be wired as a modem instead
of a null modem. If you are attempting to use a
telephone modem, the cable may be wired as a null
modem instead of a modem.
The oscilloscope RS-232 Debug menu
displays Framing errors.
There is a baud rate mismatch between the
oscilloscope and the personal computer.
There is a data bits mismatch between the
oscilloscope and the personal computer (The
oscilloscope expects 8-bit data).
There is a parity mismatch between the oscilloscope
and the personal computer. The scope is set to
expect no parity.
Transmissions are incomplete, or the
oscilloscope does not process all
commands from the personal computer.
Flagging is not being used correctly by the
oscilloscope or the personal computer or they are
using different types of flagging.
There is an EOL terminator mismatch between the
oscilloscope and the personal computer.
