Data in Analog and R/C Modes” on page 176). It may also be stored in a PDA that can be
placed in the mobile robot.

The string and data format is described in “Analog and R/C Modes Data Logging String For-
mat” on page 156.
The serial port’s output can be safely ignored if it is not required in the
application.

To read the output string while operating the controller with an analog command, the cable
must be modified to add an RS232 output wire and connector that will be connected to the
PC’s communication port. Figure 78 below shows the wiring diagram of the modified cable
for connection to a PC or to a PDA, respectively.
