2.1 Connecting to a PC/Installing the USB Driver (When the RS-232C cable
or USB cable is used.)
Although the USB cable can be connected/disconnected while the instrument and PC are
turned ON, you need to turn them OFF in the procedure below.
1. Turn off both the instrument and the computer.
2. Connect the instrument and the computer via the RS-232C cable or USB cable as illustrated. Connect the
computer end of the cable to the serial port (when the RS-232C cable is used) or USB port (when the USB
cable is used) of the computer.
Notes:
• Attach the connectors securely in the correct orientation. When the RS-232C cable is used, securing the
connectors with screws prevents accidental disconnection.
• Do not touch the terminals of the connector. Keep them clean and do not apply excessive force.
• Use a cable of sufficient length. If the cable is too short, a connection failure or disconnection may
result.
• To disconnect the cable, grip the plug or connector securely. Do not pull the cable or bend it with
excessive force.

4. Set the instrument to remote communication mode.
For the setting procedure, refer to the instruction manual for the instrument.
