WaveMaster uses the hardware flow control facilities
CTS and RTS. The parameters listed in Table 4 are
designed to be compatible with other Coherent Instruments.
When connected to an IBM PC-compatible serial port, a
straight through connection is needed (not null modem).
WaveMaster serial communication has been successfully driven using the standard Windows 9x operating
system utility, HyperTerminal.
If a three-wire interface is more convenient, it is essential
that pins 7 and 8 (CTS/RTS signals) are wired together at
the WaveMaster end of the connecting cable (this is most
readily achieved inside the connector).

Parameters
This optional interface is compliant with the IEEE 488
standard. The GPIB address can be set between 0 and 31
(in binary) using the switches adjacent to the GPIB
connector on the rear panel. In line with standard advice,
