2.5.3 Serial connection (RS232)
Many different instruments may be connected via the serial RS232 inter-
face. In addition to all Metrohm instruments that support the Metrohm re-
mote control language (see page 101ff) any printer with serial interface (or
parallel interface and parallel/serial converter) or a personal computer (PC)
may be connected. Any other measuring instrument may be controlled via
RS232 interface, as long as it supports serial data transmission.
In order to guarantee safe data transmission, it is important to set the same
RS232 interface parameters correctly for both instruments connected (see
page 21f).
Control commands (examples):
CTL:RS &M;$G starts a Metrohm instrument
CTL:RS &M;$S stops a Metrohm instrument
PRINT: config prints a configuration report to a printer or
PC
Scanning input data (example):
SCN:RS : *R" waiting for readiness of a Metrohm instru-
ment
