We recommend that for optimal performance, you use only shielded modular cable between
the Pinnacle unit's Standard Serial port and your host computer.

Transmission Parameters

The communications capability of the Standard Serial port is limited to the following
parameters:
• RS-232 protocol
• Baud rate of 19.2 kbps
• Pinnacle unit address of 1
• Odd parity
• 1 start bit, 8 data bits, one stop bit
• Low-order bytes are transmitted before high-order bytes
Please note that the time-out period for Pinnacle units is factory set at .02 s (that is, no more
than 20 ms can elapse between bytes or the unit will reset and begin looking for a new
message packet). This can be changed using Command 40 or through the remote panel menu.
Note: This port is not available if your unit has an AE Bus card installed.

AE BUS SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS (HOST) PORT

Your Pinnacle supply features an AE Bus serial (Host) communications card with a 9-pin,
female, subminiature-D connector for interfacing with a host computer. You can do
everything from a host computer interfaced with the Pinnacle supply that you can do from the
active front panel or Pinnacle Remote Active Panel.
