When COM2 is configured for RS-485 operation the port uses the same female DB-9 connector on
the back of the instrument as when Com2 is configured for RS-232 operation, however, the pin
assignments are different.

6.10.5. DTE and DCE Communication
RS-232 was developed for allowing communications between data terminal equipment (DTE) and
data communication equipment (DCE). Basic terminals always fall into the DTE category whereas
modems are always considered DCE devices. The difference between the two is the pin assignment
of the Data Receive and Data Transmit functions.
• DTE devices receive data on pin 2 and transmit data on pin 3.
• DCE devices receive data on pin 3 and transmit data on pin 2.
