Troubleshooting Guide
101
- After drivers are installed, the USB connection will become a virtual com port, which is
like a serial com port for RS-232 communication.
- Generally, Windows® will automatically assign a com port number after USB drivers
are installed. To verify this, go to Device Manager and select “Port & LPT” in the list.
You will see your device and its com port # listed in ( ).
3. I have connected the RS- 232C port into a serial port on my computer, but it’s not working.
- First, check that you have the correct cable. You will need a cross over or null modem
serial DB-9 female to female cable to communicate over RS-232.
- Check the Baud Rate and Parity settings on the instrument as well as the interfacing
software/application. They must match.
4. How come every command I send gets read back in the incoming buffer?
- This is the command echoing function and can be used as a software handshake. To
disable this, go to the menu system under E: I/O MENU, select 6: RETURN, and set it
to OFF. Press Auto to save the setting. Now, command echoing will be disabled.
