Rice Lake Condec 3030 - Manual (Page 27)

12. Remote Operation
12.1 Remote Interface
The calibrator can be remotely controlled using a PC terminal, or by
a computer program running the calibrator in an automated system.
It uses an RS-232 serial port connection for remote operation.
NOTE: To use the remote control option a custom RS-232
cable must be purchased from CONDEC (LEM232). To
contact CONDEC refer to Section 1.1 of this manual. With this
connection the user can write programs on the PC, with Windows
languages like Visual Basic to operate the calibrator, or use a
Windows terminal, such as Hyper Terminal, to enter single
commands. Typical RS-232 remote configurations are shown in
Figure 13.
