The 1020L features a standard RS-232 serial interface suitable for connection to
a PC or host system. The communication protocol is extremely simple to
facilitate readback and control with readily available terminal programs such as
Hyperterm. The RS-232 link has the following parameters:
Baud rate:
19200
Data bits:
8
Parity:
none
Stop bits:
1
Flow control: none
An example configuration using HyperTerminal on a PC is shown in figure 2.2.
In the default state, the RS-232 port will echo the same information sent to the
front panel LCD display, allowing a running datalog to be stored to disk using the
capture feature of the terminal program.
Single character commands can be sent to the amplifier to achieve the following:
"1" key enables telemetry (readback similar to LCD display) - this is the default
mode at power up
