The digital signal output is a standard RS-232 serial communications
port used to connect the analyzer to a computer, terminal, or other digital
device. Pin outs are listed in Table 3-3.

Output: The data output is status information, in digital form, up-
dated every two seconds. Status is reported in the following order:
• The concentration in ppm or percent
• Type of gas
• The range in use (01 = Range 1, 02 = Range 2, 03 = Range 3,
CAL = Range 4)
• The scale of the range (0-100 %, etc)
• Which alarms—if any—are disabled (AL–x OFF)
• Which alarms—if any—are tripped (AL–x ON).
Each status output is followed by a carriage return and line feed.
Input: The input functions using RS-232 that have been imple-
mented to date are described in Table 3-3.
