3.2.1 Serial RS-232 Interface Cable Suggestion
Connect the data interface cable to the SP-401; if the RS-232
interface has been selected use a null modem cable to connect to
the host. If the current loop interface has been selected, a cable will
need to be locally fabricated. A suggested cable diagram is shown
below. For more information on communication signals see section
