SERIAL Terminals Connection

The SERIAL terminal is used when this Display is controlled by
a computer.
[RS-232C]
NOTES:
• Use the RS-232C cross cable to connect the computer to
this Display.
• The computer shown is for example purposes only.
• Additional equipment and cables shown are not supplied
with this set.
The SERIAL terminal conforms to the RS-232C interface
specification, so that this Display can be controlled by a
computer which is connected to this terminal.
The computer will require software which allows the sending
and receiving of control data which satisfies the conditions
given below. Use a computer application such as programming
language software. Refer to the documentation for the computer
application for details.
Basic format for control data:
The transmission of control data from the computer starts with Header byte, followed by the command, the parameters, and
lastly byte of checksum in that order. If there are no parameters, then the parameter signal does not need to be sent.
