Establishing an IEEE Communications Interface

Before you can establish an IEEE communications interface with the host
computer, you must have the IEEE-488 interface kit, which includes a
converter box and an IEEE-488 cable. Use the IEEE-488 kit to establish a
parallel interface with the host computer. To do so, complete the following
steps:
Connect the converter box according to the manufacturer's instructions.
1
Manufacturer's instructions are provided with the kit.
Plug one end of the cable into the serial port on the 232/488 converter box.
2
Finger tighten both screws of the cable adapter.
3
Connect the other end of the cable to the ASX-112FR COM1 port.
4
Ensure that you are connecting the adapter to the COM1 port. Connecting the
CAUTION
adapter to the AUX I/O port on the autosampler will cause a malfunction. The
autosampler AUX I/O port is used for communications to a device other than the
host computer.
Finger tighten both screws of the cable adapter.
