2.2.9 Selecting the PC communication Port
It is just a simple case of selecting the correct port on the PC. The
software shows the COM ports that are present in the system to choose
from: COM1, COM2, COM3…. If you are not sure which port the cable is
connected on your computer refer to your PC manual.
2.2.10 Setting up a Multipoint System with Multipoint Samplers -
INNOVA 1309
The 1309(s) is connected to the Gas Monitor using IEEE-488 cable(s).
To avoid data errors, this cable must conform to the specifications laid
down in the IEEE-488 standard, particularly with regard to length,
connector type and “daisy-chaining”. LumaSense can supply the correct
cables, Cable order no. AO0265 (2m) or WL0845 (1m).
Caution: To avoid permanently damaging the delicate electronics in a
1309 or the Monitor, you must ensure that all IEEE-488 instruments are
switched off before connecting or disconnecting the interface cables.
The IEEE–488 address of each 1309 in the system must be set before
communication with the PC can occur. The address is set using the eight
DIP switches located on the back panel of the 1309. The decimal
address of the instrument is expressed as a binary number, the MSD
(Most significant DIP switch) being to the left looking onto the back
panel. Table 2.4 will guide you.
