In addition, each individual line has a series FET with a nominal ON
resistance of 5 ohms (9 ohms worst case). This can limit the obtainable
voltage, depending on the load impedance applied. See Figure 3-6.
3.3.2.3 RS-232 Port: 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. It requires a standard 9-pin D connector.
The data is status information, in digital form, updated every two
seconds. Status is reported in the following order:
• The concentration in percent
• The range in use (HI, MED, LO)
• The span of the range (0-10 %, etc)
• Which alarms—if any—are disabled (AL–x DISABLED)
• Which alarms—if any—are tripped (AL–x ON).
Each status output is followed by a carriage return and line feed.
Four input functions using RS-232 have been implemented to date.
They are described in Table 3-1.
