RS232 Interface and Connection to a Computer

You can connect the torque
tester to a RS232 interface
on a computer. With this, test
values can be transferred to
the computer. Use the
connecting cable (9-pin Sub-
D socket / 3.5 mm 3-pin jack)
provided for the connection.
Use a terminal program
suited for your operating
system and your hardware
for communicating with the
torque tester. The interface in
the torque tester is always
active and cannot be
deactivated.
For connection settings, see Section 8 (Technical Data).
