5-5. Setting up the RS-232 Host Port for Remote Control

The Calibrator is fully programmable over an RS-232 link with a PC the rear panel
SERIAL 1 FROM HOST port (Figure 5-2). You can enter individual commands from a
terminal, write your own programs using, for example, a Windows-based language such
as Visual Basic, or run optional Windows-based Fluke software such as 5520/CAL or
MET/CAL.
The RS-232 cable length for the port should not exceed 15 meters (50 feet), although
longer cable lengths are permitted if the load capacitance measured at a connection point
(including signal terminator) does not exceed 2500 pF.
5-6. RS-232 Host Port Setup Procedure
Complete the following procedure to set up the SERIAL 1 FROM HOST port. The
RS-232 parameters you select here must match the parameters set for the PC COM port.
The factory defaults (shown on the display below) are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit,
and no parity. Other parameters include flow control, EOL (end-of-line) character, and
EOF (end-of-file) characters.
1. Turn the Calibrator power on. You may operate the Calibrator during warmup, but
