Connecting the RS-232 Interface
The RS-232 data communication interface supports the querying of status information and
temperature data from the incubator by entering basic commands in a standard terminal
window provided by your computer's operating system. The interconnection requires a
standard RS-232 cable with 9-pin connectors and a straight "1:1" pinout without any crossed
wires, which is not supplied with the incubator.
Users may employ the RS-232 command inventory listed in
process data logging - for example, by embedding these commands in scripts that run on a
remote computer.

When taking the incubator into operation for the first time allow some
time before switching on for stabilization to avoid condensation forming
on live parts.
If a high-voltage test is to be performed on the unit, it must first be
heated for around 30 minutes at 75°C.
Replacement should only be carried out by skilled and authorized
qualified personnel of electrotechnology/signal engineering!
RS-232 interface check the interfacing parameters against the pin-out
description given above and make sure that computer's interface port
works with a signal level of +/- 5V DC.
