CHAPTER 16
SERIAL LINE COMMANDS
The DM500 detector is operated via a serial line by using suitable
terminal software like Windows Hyper Terminal (see also MI70-link).
The serial output interface is RS232.Connect the RS232 cable to the
connector on the back panel of the DMI500 user interface unit. The
serial cable can also be connected to the back panel of the DMP501
sensing unit. This port, however, has a limited command set and fixed
format (9600/8/1/none), and connecting to this port may increase the
susceptibility to electromagnetic interference.
The notation '<cr>' used in this manual in conjunction with the serial
commands stands for pressing the 'carriage return' (ENTER) key on
your personal computer keyboard.
