Appendix 3 – RS232
The 518 may be operated via its RS232 interface.
Set the communication settings as follows:
•
Baud rate 9600
•
Data bits 8
•
Stop bit 1
•
Parity none
The 518 is operated by sending short command strings on the RS232
interface. Each command is terminated by a (dec. 13). No echo
is implemented. Any subsequent on its own repeats the last
command.
518 returns useful strings acknowledging the command and giving status
information.
