interface
2.7.1 General information on RS232 interface
Many different instruments may be connected via the serial RS232
interface 40 40 40 40. In addition to all Metrohm instruments that support the
Metrohm remote control language (see section 5.2) any printer with
serial interface (or parallel interface and parallel/serial converter) or a
personal computer (PC) may be connected. Any other measuring
instrument may be controlled via RS232 interface, as long as it supports
serial data transmission.

Fig. 23: Connection possibilities for the RS232 interface
In order to guarantee safe data transmission, it is important to set the
same RS232 interface parameters correctly for both instruments
connected (see section 2.5.2).
Control commands (examples)
CTL:RS &M;$G
