The altimeter can operate in RS232 serial mode, RS485 serial mode, in analogue mode and
as a current loop device. Analogue and serial modes can run on the same device with the
analogue output signal on Pin 5. The pin out configurations are shown below for each type.
Note that the different types require different communications boards so it is not generally
possible to change from one type to another without returning the unit to Tritech.
