SC532A 9-Pin Peripheral to 9-Pin RS232 Interface 1. Function The SC532A Peripheral Interface connects an IBM® PC compatible computer, with appropriate software, to certain Campbell Scientific datalogger peripherals including phone modems (COM200, COM210, COM220), storage modules (SM4M/16M, SM192/716), MD9 multi-drop interface, and Seimac SCD/Argos satellite transmitter. Like the SC532, the SC532A supplies 5 VDC on the PERIPHERAL connector (pin 1) to power 5V peripherals like the SM16M.
