When the oscilloscope is set up with a RS232 interface, please check the following points:
z
Do not connect the output line of one DTE device to the output line of the other.
z
Many devices require a constant high signal on one or more input pins (Hardware handshaking) before communications will work.
z
Ensure that the signal ground of the equipment is connected to the signal ground of the external device.
z
Ensure that the chassis ground of the equipment is connected to the chassis ground of the external device.
z
Do not use more than 15m of cable to connect devices to a PC.
z
Ensure the same data configurations (Baud rate, handshaking, start/stop bits & parity) are used on the device and PC or terminal.
Computer Connection
A personal computer with a COM port is required to operate the oscilloscope via the RS232 interface.
The connections between oscilloscope and computer are as follows:
I.
Connect one end of a RS232 cable to the computer.
II.
Connect the other end of the cable to the RS232 port on the oscilloscope.
III.
Turn on the oscilloscope.
