Connecting DMS to your Computer
If your computer has a serial port…
Connect pins 7 (serial transmit), 13 (serial receive) and either pin 1,3 or 10
(analogue ground) on the instrument’s 15-pin mini- D Connector to an
appropriate serial port using a standard DB-9 connector (see Chapter 2 for
wiring instructions.)
Alternatively, you may purchase the Kobold RS-232
communication cable part number CRS (See Appendix B for Parts and
Accessories ordering information).
With your DMS POWERED UP (and you have RS-232 cable
CRS), plug the mini-RCA jack into the receptacle on the side of your
DMS instrument (See Figure 5-1: DMS Connections). Next,
plug the DB-9 connector to an appropriate serial port on your computer.
