1. Overview Iradion Infinity Series lasers offer to the user the ability to communicate with the laser using RS232 communication. The RS232 communication signals are available on one of the two ports on the rear-side of the laser: J7 HD-15 style, or J8 RJ45 style.
4. Using the Software 4.1. Confirm the serial port on the windows PC is functional. 4.2. Connect the serial port (PC) to the IRADION CO2 laser’s serial port using appropriate cabling. Refer to IRADION LASER user guide on how to connect the cabling.
