User Manual

The RS232 interface does not support flow control. The programmer should be

aware of this limitation and pay attention to the Instrument command process

time. If the remote commands are sent too fast the internal buffer may overrun

and cause communication errors. Therefore, it is mandatory to add a delay

between commands so that the Instrument has sufficient time to process.

13.7 Event_SW

The Event_SW output can be used to control external devices. The Instrument uses a

opto-coupler with an NPN transistor output.
