Appendix III

RS-232 SERIAL DATA COMMUNICATIONS

The Setra Model 370 Digital Pressure Gauge is equipped with a bidirectional RS-232
interface which allows communications between the gauge and other devices which
are also equipped with an RS-232 interface.

This section provides detailed technical information showing how to operate the
Model 370 remotely from a computer.

To perform printing operations to a serial printer, Section 3.7 "Printing Information"
and Appendix I.2 "Formatting Baud Rate" provide the necessary information.

III.1 INTERFACING THE MODEL 370 TO A COMPUTER

The bidirectional serial interface allows the gauge to transmit information to a
printer, computer, or terminal. It also allows the computer or terminal to send
commands to the gauge, duplicating the functions of the front keypad.

Any computer or terminal with an RS-232 serial port can be connected to
the gauge. The baud rates of the gauge and the computer must be set
identically. (see Appendix I.2 - "Formatting Baud Rate").
