RS232 Communications Guide
Information and assistance on using RS232 communications with a Surface Analyst
This document describes the RS232 functionality for integrators who wish to export real time data from a Surface Analyst to an external RS232 enabled device.
- Wiring information is provided for users to properly prepare their systems to receive real time data from a Surface Analyst.
- Configuration information may require service level login on the Surface Analyst to complete. Individuals who think they need to configure settings (which are available in the service menus) should contact BTG Service to receive a temporary service login.
- Data format is provided for proper programming of the receiving systems to properly parse the desired data from the data stream.
It is expected that the personnel wiring and configuring the system will be familiar with RS232 communication protocol along with wiring and configuration of RS232 systems.
