3.1 RS-232 SERIAL INPUT
The VSI-Pro accepts serial data via the DB-9 female connector located on the rear of VSI-Pro. This connector is
similar to “AT” type computer RS232 serial ports and the pin out is identical. Table 1 shows the standard pin out for
VSI-Pro RS-232 female connector. On the other hand Table 2 compares the VSI-Pro RS-232 with standard “AT”
computer’s RS-232 connector.
