Digital Communication Interface
If supplied with the option, the 7060/7061 bath is capable of communicat-
ing with and being controlled by other equipment through the digital inter-
face. Two types of digital interface are available — the RS-232 serial
interface and the IEEE-488 GPIB interface.
With a digital interface the bath may be controlled by a computer or other
equipment. This allows the user to set the bath temperature, monitor the
temperature, and access any of the other controller functions, all using re-
mote communications equipment. In addition the heater power setting and
cooling capacity may be controlled using the interface. To enable the heater
to be switched to high using the interface the "HEATER" switch must be set
to the "LOW" position. The COOLING switch must be set to "OFF" and the
COOLING POWER switch set to "HIGH" to enable remote control. Adjust the
front panel cooling temperature to the minimum required for the lowest
temperature desired.
Digital Interface Setup (front panel controls):
HEATER switch - LOW
COOLING switch - OFF
COOLING POWER switch - HIGH
COOLING TEMPERATURE - minimum required.

Serial Communications
The bath may be installed with an RS-232 serial interface that allows serial
digital communications over fairly long distances. With the serial interface
the user may access any of the functions, parameters and settings discussed
in Section9 with the exception of the baud rate setting.
