-RxD Receive Data - Input - Pin 2
This pin accepts serial data sent by the RS-232 or RS-422 host.
The serial data is expected with the word length, baud rate, stop
bits and parity selected by the internal switches. The signal level is
low true.
-TxD Transmit Data - Output - Pin 3
This pin transmits serial data to the RS-232 or RS-422 host. The
serial data is sent with the word length, baud rate, stop bits and
parity selected by the internal switches. The signal level is low
true.
CTS Clear To Send - Input - Pin 4
The
CTS
input is used as a hardware handshake line to prevent the
Serial488A
from transmitting serial data when the RS-232 host is
not ready to accept it. When
RTS/CTS
handshake is selected on
the internal switches, the
Serial488A
will not transmit data out
-
TxD
while this line is un-asserted (low). If the RS-232 host is not
capable of driving this line it can be connected to the
Vtest
output
(Pin 6) of the
Serial488A
. If
Xon/Xoff
handshake is selected, the
CTS
line is not tested to determine if it can transmit data.
