RS-232 connections
The RS-232 serial port is connected to the serial port of a computer using a straight-
through RS-232 cable terminated with DB-9 connectors. Do not use a null modem cable.
The serial port uses the transmit (TXD), receive (RXD), and signal ground (GND) lines of
the RS-232 standard.
shows the rear panel connector for the RS-232 interface,
and
shows the pinout for the connector. (See
for the rear panel con-
nector location.)
If your computer uses a DB-25 connector for the RS-232 interface, you will need a cable
or adapter with a DB-25 connector on one end and a DB-9 connector on the other, wired
straight through (not null modem).
NOTE
To minimize interference caused by electromagnetic radiation, use only shielded
RS-232 cables such as the Keithley Model 7009-5.
