RS-232 Connection

The VALVEMATE's RS-232 port is used to transfer
information between the VALVEMATE and a
computer. For the location of the RS-232 port, refer to
the diagram on page 2-2.
To connect your computer to the VALVEMATE, you
need an RS-232 cable. Obtain a cable with D-connectors
that are appropriate for the VALVEMATE and your
computer. The VALVEMATE requires a 25-pin male
D-connector. Refer to the back panel of your
computer or its documentation to determine which
type of D-connector it requires. RS-232 cables are
available from Gilson and your local computer store.
Connecting RS-232 cable
Attach the male end of the RS-232 cable to the RS-
232 port located on back panel of the VALVEMATE.
Tighten the retaining screws.
Attach the other end of the RS-232 cable to the
computer's RS-232 serial communications port.
Again, tighten the retaining screws.
