Table 23 Optional Rs-232 Cables - Olympus 38DL PLUS User Manual

DMTA-10004-01EN, Rev. D, November 2016
To enable the 38DL PLUS to communicate with another RS-232 serial device, you
must use the correct cable. Since all computers do not have the same serial port
connector, the correct cable must be ordered from Olympus. The RS-232 cable is an
option for the 38DL PLUS, which you can specify at the time of order (see Table 23 on
page 246).
