1. RS-232C Bi-directional Interface Functions
Connect the gauge and device receiving data with a CB-203 cable.
All gauge functions can be duplicated from a remote location by
using the RS-232C interface.All commands must be sent in upper-
case ASCII character format followed by a carriage return (CR).
Signal level: RS-232C, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity bit
