Data transmission protocol
The two RS232 interfaces of the 732 IC Detectors are configured as
DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) with the following technical specifica-
tions:
•
Standard
Data interface in accordance with EIA standard
RS 232C (DIN 66020, page 1), transmission
parameters can be set under "
>CONFIG/RS
settings
", see section 4.4.2.

•
Mode
Full duplex (simultaneous transmission and
receiving)
Restriction:
If data are first received by the interface, trans-
mission is not started until the receipt is at an
end.
•
Cable
For interconnection of the 732 IC Detector with
third-party devices, only a shielded data cable
may be used (e.g. Metrohm D.104.0201). The
cable shield must be perfectly earthed at both
devices (pay attention to current loops: always
use star earthing). Use only connectors with
sufficient shielding (e.g. Metrohm K.210.0001
with K.210.9004).
