Interfacing
The Tester provides two interfacing ports:-
A Serial Port - for connection to a PC, Printer, Barcode
Reader/Scanner, Modem, Brain Cell Reader
Also provided with the Tester is a Dual Serial Port Adaptor. This
adaptor enables two accessories to be connected to the serial port of
the Tester at the same time. The grey socket in the dual side of the
adaptor is to plug in input devices e.g. Barcode Reader/Scanners.
The black socket in the dual side of the adaptor is for output devices
e.g. downloading to PC, Printers or Z-Modem.
Note
A Brain Cell Reader cannot be used with the Dual Serial Port
Adaptor. The Reader needs to be plugged directly into the Tester
serial port.
A Parallel Port – for printing to generic printers
To avoid any problems during download, ensure that leads are
undamaged and correct for the application.
