Rs-232-C Ports; General - Tektronix 8001A Installation Manual

RS-232-C PORTS
GENERAL
The 8001/8002 µProcessor Lab has four RS-232-C
1/0
ports. These ports are used for
transferring data between the µProcessor Lab and peripheral equipment. Each of these ports
is associated with specific device names in the software system. Electrical specifications for
these ports conform to the RS-232-C standards and can be found in the 8001 /8002
µProcessor Lab Service Manual. Specific hardware and software port interface information
is found in the section on the originating module.
The ports are set up for asynchronous serial data transmission. The byte structure is: one
start bit, eight data bits and one stop bit. More stop bits are ignored when received. The
eighth data bit, or parity bit, is not used.
The jacks for the four
1/0
ports are located on the rear panel of the main chassis as shown
in Fig. 2-1.
