3.4 Connecting the RS232C Cable (Only For CyberScan pH 100)
The CyberScan pH 100 meter provides a RS232C output for
you to transmit your readings either to a printer or a computer
via a cable. This is useful in instances where the CyberScan
meter is used for continuous monitoring of a certain process or
experiment. Data output to the printer or the computer can then
be evaluated.
The data is output in the ASCII format. This format allows the
data to be imported by a wide variety of software that read
ASCII data (e.g. Microsoft’s Excel, Lotus, Quattro-pro etc.).
Eutech Instruments provides a complimentary Data Acquisition
Software (DAS) that captures data transmitted into an ASCII
file for later use.
1. Open the printer port cover located at the bottom end of
the meter. Do not use excessive force when doing this.
See Figure 12.
2. Noting the orientation of the RS232C connector, plug the male connector into the
RS232C port of the CyberScan.
3. Fasten the RS232C connector by fastening the two screws at the side of the male
RS232C connector.
