Digital Communication Interface
The CTR –80 Bath calibrator is capable of communicating with and being controlled by other equipment through the digital serial interface.
With a digital interface the instrument may be connected to a computer or other
equipment. This allows the user to set the set-point temperature, monitor the
temperature, and access any of the other controller functions, all using remote
communications equipment. Communications commands are summarized in
Table 3 on page 50.
10.1
Serial Communications
The bath is installed with an RS-232 serial interface that allows serial digital
communications over fairly long distances. With the serial interface the user
may access any of the functions, parameters and settings discussed in Section 9
with the exception of the baud rate setting.
