Preparing the Meter for Operations via the RS-232 Interface
Setting Communication Parameters (RS-232)
To install the Meter into the rack, refer to the instructions provided with the Rack Mount
Kit.
The RS-232 interface allows ASCII asynchronous serial communication between the
Meter and a host, serial printer, or terminal. The following section describes setting up
the RS-232 port. Additional information on how to communicate and control the Meter
through the RS-232 port is contained in Chapter 5 of the 8808A Users Manual on the
accompanying CD.
Table 5 provides the RS-232 parameters factory settings. Setting RS-232 communication
parameters can only be performed from the front panel.
In order for the Meter and host to communicate via the RS-232 interface, the
communication parameters of the Meter must match those of the host. If the
communications parameters of the host and Meter do not match, set the appropriate baud
rate and parity parameters as follows:
1. Press P to turn the Meter on.
2. Press Q and K. The baud rate currently selected is shown in the primary
3. Press U or V to scroll to the desired baud rate, and then press R for 2
display and baud is shown in the secondary display.
seconds to set the RS-232 baud rate.
