4.7.0 Setting the delay over RS-232 Serial Port and PC

The RS-232 Serial Port is located on the backpanel of the PDL-100A System Unit
(see Section 7.0 Backpanel for diagram) and is used to connect to either the MT-
100A Microterminal (with the supplied DB-9 MALE to FEMALE cable) or to a
PC (with a NULL MODEM DB-9 FEMALE to MALE cable). Port speed is
9600 baud, 8 data bits, and 2 stop bits.
The PDL-100A System Unit can operate (send command prompts and receive
command data) in either Command Terminal Mode or in MT-100A Mode. You
must specify the correct mode prior to attaching either the MT-100A
Microterminal or the PC else command prompts will be displayed incorrectly.
Default is MT-100A Mode with the Microterminal attached when the PDL-100A
is first powered-on.

4.7.1 Attaching the MT-100A Microterminal to the RS-232 port

Ensure the MT-100A Mode is set by sending the command: MODE
TERM ON to the PDL-100A. This command can be sent via GPIB,
TCP/IP, or via RS-232. If the MT-100A is already connected, you can set
the MT-100A Mode ON by pressing:
MT-100A.
Note: if the MT-100A Mode is OFF, command prompts from the
PDL-100A will be displayed incorrectly.
Use the supplied DB-9 mated cable (supplied with MT-100A) to connect
the MT-100A Microterminal to the PDL-100A System Unit. See Section
7.0 Backpanel for diagram.

4.7.2 Attaching the PC to the RS-232 port

Ensure the MT-100A Mode is set by sending the command: MODE
TERM OFF to the PDL-100A. This command can be sent via GPIB,
TCP/IP, or via RS-232. If the MT-100A is already connected, you can set
the MT-100A Mode OFF by pressing:
MT-100A.
You must use a NULL MODEM cable when connecting the PC to the
PDL-100A System Unit. The NULL MODEM cable should have a
MALE DB-9 connector TO the PDL-100A and a FEMALE DB-9
