II - 2 Data Interface
The 300S data interface includes the RS-232 serial port. The serial port
supports both bi-directional data communications which allows data to
be exported to, or imported from an external device. Also, external
operations via the data interface.
Data which can be exported from the 300S to an external serial device
includes:
„ Job, and Installation configuration parameters.
„ Non-linear error compensation tables.
„ Measured value output (display values, or probing functions).
Data which can be imported into 300S from an external device
includes:
„ Remote key commands from an external device
„ Job, and installation configuration parameters
„ Non-linear error compensation tables
For operations that support data transfer, an IMPORT/EXPORT soft
key is available. See "Import/Export" on page 19.
To export, or import data between the 300S and a personal computer,
the PC can use a common terminal communications software such as
Hyperterminal. This software processes the data being sent, or
received over the serial cable link. All data transferred between the
300S, and the PC is in ASCII text format.
To export data from the 300S to a PC, the PC must first be made ready
to receive the data to save it to a file. Setup the terminal
communication program to capture ASCII text data from the COM port
to a file on the PC. After the PC is ready to receive, start the data
transfer by pressing the 300S IMPORT/EXPORT soft key.
To import data into the 300S from a PC, the 300S must first be made
ready to receive the data.
8 Press the 300S IMPORT/EXPORT soft key.
8 After the 300S is ready, setup the terminal communications
program on the PC to send the desired file in ASCII text format..
The 300S does not support communication protocols such
as Kermit or Xmodem.
