DMM4020, DMM4040, and DMM4050 Connectivity Installation Manual
You can connect the digital multimeter (DMM) to the USB port on your
MS-Windows personal computer (PC) through the USB-to-Serial cable that comes
standard with your DMM. The serial end of the cable attaches to the RS-232 port
on the rear panel of the DMM, and the other end plugs into a USB port on the PC.
You can connect to a PC with a serial port through the serial port on therear-panel
of the DMM.
You can connect to a PC with IEEE-488 capability through the IEEE-488 port
on the rear panel of the DMM4040 or DMM4050.
The USB port on the front panel of the DMM4040 or DMM4050 is for USB
memory devices, not for connecting to a remote PC.
To use the cable, you need to install the USB-to-RS232 drivers on your PC. This
allows the USB-to-RS232 cable to communicate between the DMM and the
PC. To install the drivers, use the Documentation Browser CD, or plug in the
USB-to-RS232 adapter and use your PC Wizard to locate and install the drivers.
On the DMM4040 or DMM4050 DMM, after you install the drivers, you can
select and set up an interface port by pushing the front-panel instrument setup key,
labelled Instr Setup, then pushing the buttons under the display with the resulting
labels Select Port, Port I/F and RS-232C (highlighted when selected).
