Example 2
Connecting the TAI analyzer to a serial printer.
In this case, it will be necessary to determine whether the printer is DCE or DTE. Some printers
can be configured for either DCE or DTE by jumper or DIP switch settings. Consult the user
manual for the printer. If the DB-25 connector pinout shows that data is output on pin 2 (from
the printer), then it is DTE and the TAI analyzer's jumpers should be set to DCE mode. If pin 2
of the printer DB-25 is an input to the printer, then set the jumpers of the analyzer to DTE mode.
Refer to drawing #01115.
Example 3
Connecting the TAI analyzer to a modem.
The modem is always configured as DCE. Therefore, setting jumpers as the DTE will be
required to connect the analyzer to the modem. Refer to drawing #01115.
Data Communications Software for a PC.
You will need to purchase a software package so your computer can transmit and receive on its
serial port. There are many such programs, we use PROCOMM at TAI. Once you set up the
variables in PROCOMM and your wiring connections are correct, you will be able to communicate
with the analyzer. Make sure the analyzer is set up for 2400 baud (SETUP-MORE-COMM-BAUD)
and that PROCOMM is set up as described in the "RS-232 Pin Assignments" Figure 9-2.
