The fraction collector has built-in RS-232 and Ethernet inter-
faces that allow it to be remotely controlled. Remote control is
typically done using a computer running a terminal program to
send commands and receive data. Software applications such as
1
LabVIEW can automate the fraction collector operation.
The minimum connections required for serial control are:
Pin 2 TRANSMIT
Pin 3 RECEIVE
Pin 5 COMMON
Available baud rates are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400,
56800, and 115200. Configure the remote device for 8 bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control.
Communication with the fraction collector can be established
through either Ethernet port. These connections use a Category
5 (or higher) cable. The fraction collector will automatically
detect straight and cross-over cables and configure the communi-
cation accordingly.
Refer to Section 3 to configure the TCP/IP settings of the fraction
collector.
The fraction collector uses port 23 for remote control and commu-
nication.
Note
Although the fraction collector uses port 23, commands spe-
cific to TELNET protocol will be ignored.
ASCII printable characters are transmitted as 8 data bits, no
parity bit, and 1 stop bit.
