CATC

SW Version 2.3

Using an RS-232 25 pin Cable

If using an RS-232 cable, you will also need to use a CATC breakout board
and alligator cables. Connect alligator cables from the external device to
one or more Data pins on a breakout board. Then connect a 25-pin RS-232
cable from the breakout board to the 25-pin connector on the back of the
analyzer marked "DATA IN/OUT."

Once the analyzer is connected, you will need to configure the Recording
Options so the analyzer will send an output signal.

Setting External Output Options

To configure the analyzer for signal output, perform the following steps:

Step 1

If it is not already open, open the Actions window.

You should see Event buttons on the left side of the screen
representing the events you selected in the Events window.

Step 2

Click the blue dot on an event button representing the
event you wish to cause an output signal. For example,
if you want the analyzer to send an output signal when it sees an
error, to trigger an output signal based on an error, click on the blue
dot in the Error button.

The following menu appears:

The menu offers three choices:

Enable External General Purpose Output - This
option causes an output signal to be generated AND
triggers the end of the recording. When selected, a small arrow
appears on the event button, indicating that output signalling has
been enabled. Also present is a line between the event button and
the trigger button. This line indicates that the analyzer is set to
trigger the end of its recording.
