The XP2i can be connected to a personal computer via RS-232, using an ordinary DB9 extension cable (male DB9 for the XP2i connection, female DB9 for the
PC side). The interface lets you record displayed readings and recorded peaks. The data string always includes the pressure units.
The XP2i can be operated remotely, as if you were pressing the buttons. You can use a simple terminal program to send the commands, or, you can incorpo-
rate them into your own software program.
