The instruments communicate via serial line RS232 or RS485. For communication they use the ASCII protocol. Communica-
tion runs in the following format:
ASCII:
8 bit, no parity, one stop bit
DIN MessBus: 7 bit, even parity, one stop bit
The transfer rate is adjustable in the instrument menu. The instrument address is set in the instrument menu in the range of
0 ÷ 31. The manufacture setting always presets the ASCII protocol, rate of 9600 Baud, address 00. The type of line used
- RS232 / RS485 - is determined by an output board automatically identified by the instrument.
The commands are described in specification you can find at www.orbit.merret.cz/rs.
