RS232 Communication

RS232 control is not necessary for operation, but it is a convenient way to control
displays from a computer at a distance. If your installation will not use RS232 control,
you can skip this section. Most of the operations you can do with the remote, you can
do with RS232 commands. Plus, you can send inquiries to the displays and find out
the current settings and values. RS232 connections are made with standard straight
through cables.

Connecting the RS232 Cable

The RS232 cable will connect to a PC or control system, depending on your setup.
