RS-232C(Optional)
The logic analyzer interfaces with RS-232C communication lines through a standard
25 pin D connector. The logic analyzer is compatible with RS-232C protocol. When a
hardwire handshake method is used, the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) line, pin 20 on
the connector, is used to signal if space is available for more data in the logical I/O
buffer. Pin outs of the RS-232C connectors are listed in the following table.
RS-232C Signal Definitions
Pin
Number Function RS-232C
Standard Signal Direction and Level
1 Protective Ground AA Not applicable
2 Transmitted Data (TD) BA Data from Mainframe
High = Space = "0" = +12 V
Low = Mark = "1" = –12 V
3 Received Data (RD) BB Data to Mainframe
High = Space = "0" = +3 V to +25 V
Low = Mark = "1" = –3 V to –25 V
4 Request to Send (RTS) CA Signal from Mainframe
High = ON = +12 V
Low = OFF = –12 V
5 Clear to Send (CTS) CB Signal to Mainframe
