RS232 Serial Interface (where applicable)
The calibrator may send data logging information to an PC or compatible computer by connecting the
unit and the PC via an RS232 cable, and installing the "Calsoft" software, available free of charge from
our web-site.
Ensure that there is a connection made before the calibrator is switched on.
The RS232 cable must be fitted to both the unit and the PC before either unit is powered up, otherwise,
data integrity cannot be guaranteed. Once the cable is fitted, it does not matter which unit is powered
up first.
The following tables indicate the cable specifications for a 9-way PC serial port:

Sending data to the PC
The procedure for sending data to the PC is described in the instructions supplied with the software. The
PC must be properly connected by the RS232 cable and running Calsoft to accept or display data.
