1 Connect the peripheral catch monitoring system to an available communication
port on your Processor Unit.
This is described in the Cable layout and interconnections chapter. Observe the

serial line cable does not exceed approximately 50 meters. If a longer cable is
required, you may need to use buffer amplifiers.
If the Processor Unit is not fitted with a suitable serial line connector, use a
USB-to-serial converter. Several types are commercially available. Note that most
USB-to-serial converters will introduce some latency. They may also introduce
be jitter in the communication. The amount of jitter depends on the quality of
the converter.
