5.3.2 Single Instrument RS232 Connections
For single instrument remote control only pins 2, 3 and 5 are connected to the
PC. However, for correct operation links must be made in the connector at the PC end
between pins 1, 4 and 6 and between pins 7 and 8, see diagram. Pins 7 and 8 of the
instrument must not be connected to the PC, i.e. do not use a fully wired 9–way cable.
Baud Rate is set as described above in Address and Baud Rate Selection; the
other parameters are fixed as follows:
