The serial cable can be ordered directly as a Serial IO Cable /s (CA0110) and the controlled
Equipment Name, Type and Manufacturer. For the equipment embedded in the latest Equipmnt.clb
library just this specification is enough, because the Equipment.clb is installed with Cue Director and it
can be checked using Cue Library Director.
For the equipment which is not in the Equipmnt.clb the connector type and pin description including
male / female information is necessary. This information as well as communication protocol is usually
part of the controlled device User Manual.
The serial cable is in many cases part of the accessories of controlled equipment. Usually it is
intended for the direct PC control and it can be used in most cases for smartCUE connection.
