Remote Control Interface (Pc Connection) - Omicron CT SB2 User Manual

Remote control interface (PC connection)

CT Analyzer devices as of serial number JHxxxx or newer are equipped with a USB interface and a
RS232 interface. You can use both interfaces alternatively to connect the CT Analyzer test set to a
computer.
OMICRON recommends to use the USB interface since communication via USB is considerably faster
than communication via RS232.

Since in this case CT Analyzer provides two alternative interfaces, the user has to select the interface to
be used (or check the selection) in the CT Analyzer settings before connecting CT Analyzer. The factory
default setting for those devices is USB.
1. Open the Main Menu of CT Analyzer and select Settings.
2. In the Setting Menu page, select Remote Interface.
3. In the Select remote interface port page, select the interface actually used to connect CT Analyzer
to the computer: USB or RS232.
CT Analyzer will only communicate via the selected interface. It will not be recognized by the computer
if the CT Analyzer settings do not match the interface used for connection.
