Section 1: Introduction

Serial Data Ports

RS-232 Port
The Nanoduct RS-232 port uses a DB9 connector located on the top of the
instrument. This port is for asynchronous serial communication with a printer or
computer. The RS-232 port can be used to print out results of sweat tests (with a
time and date stamp). Data output is in ASCII characters. Refer to Appendix C for
additional information.
WARNING!
Electrical shock hazard. Never connect to a line powered printer or
computer when the instrument is attached to a patient.
USB Port
The Nanoduct Universal Serial Bus (USB) port uses a standard USB type-B
receptacle. The port is configured as a USB device (not a host). Data output is
in ASCII characters. The USB port allows the updating of firmware in the field
and allows a reading to be transferred to the Nanoduct Lab Report application.
The port cannot be used with a USB printer. Refer to Appendix C for additional
information.
WARNING!
Electrical shock hazard. Never connect to a line powered printer or
computer while the instrument is attached to a patient.
