When operated with the proper cable, the DFS offers a variety of output and input abilities for bi-directional communication
with external devices such as computers and data loggers.
Output Selection
There are three output selections:
• RS232
• Digimatic
• None
Although there are only three output options, there are actually four outputs available; consult the chart below to
