Appendix D: RS-232 Interface
This appendix provides information necessary when using the RS-232 interface for
communication between the host computer and an IsoPlane system.
D.1 Communication Configuration Settings
When using RS-232 for communication with the IsoPlane spectrograph, the RS-232 port on
the host computer system must be configured as follows:
D.2 Custom Cable Information
This section provides the information necessary to build a custom RS-232 cable to be used
with an IsoPlane spectrograph.
