20 RS 232 Interface
Jack RS232 is provided for the connection of the following instruments:
(P)SI module (accessory),
which can be inserted into the lid of the tester
•PC
Barcode scanner of the following type:
B3261 with RS232 interface (article number: GTZ3261000R0001)
Z720A with RS232 interface (article number: Z720A)
or RFID scanner of the following type:
Z751G with RS232 interface (article number: Z751G)
20.1 Transmission of Measurement Results to the (P)SI module
Test results – except for results from individual measurements and the
function test – can be transmitted from the test instrument to the (P)SI
module, where they can be stored and printed out in the form of measur-
ing, test and statistics reports at any time.
20.2 PC Connection
Connection to an IBM compatible PC is also possible. The PC is
connected to the interface at the test instrument, or to the interface
port at a previously installed (P)SI module.
20.2.1Software Evaluation of Measurement Results
Convenient software programs such as PC.doc-WORD/EXCEL, PC.doc-
ACCESS or PS3 allow for easy preparation of measuring and test reports,
as well as archiving of measured data.
20.2.2Instrument Control via Interface Commands
All key functions included with the test instrument can be simulated
with the help of interface protocols, and the following parameters can be
queried:
Type of measurement and measuring range
Test setup
Measurement sequence progress
Detailed measuring results
20.3 Interface Definition and Protocol
The interface included with the test instrument is in compliance
with the RS 232 standard.
