Serial interface
The 5- pin male connector on the meter’s rear panel is a
serial port or terminal to form a minimal 3- wire RS- 232
connection (TX, RX, GND).
In order to operate the multimeter via a host computer or
terminal, the parameters of the serial interface within the
multimeter has to match the parameters with the serial
interface provided by the host or terminal.
The default settings of the meter are 9600 baud rate,
non- parity, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit (9600, n, 8, 1).
NOTE
To easily configure and verify an interface connection between the 34450A and your PC,
use the Automation- Ready CD, which is shipped with your 34450A. This CD includes the
Keysight IO Libraries Suite and the Keysight Connection Expert application. For more
information about Keysight's I/O connectivity software, visit www.keysight.com/find/iolib.
NOTE
To use this serial interface, it is recommended to use the
optional Serial- to- RS232 adapter (34450A- 700)
