8.4.2 Serial Cable Diagram
California Instruments AC power sources require a special RS232C cable to communicate
with a PC. Standard null-modem cables obtained from a computer hardware store most
likely will not work. For this reason, all California Instruments power sources that operate
over RS232C are supplied with a RS232C 9 pin female to 9 pin female cable.
If for some reason this cable cannot be located, the cable diagram shown in Figure 8-3
should be used when constructing a serial cable.

8.5 PGUI32 Setup and Installation
This section covers installation of the PGUI32 from the distribution disk to the user‟s PC.
Make sure the PC is capable of running Windows with at least 16 Mbytes of memory and 4
Mbytes of available hard disk space.
8.5.1 Connecting the AC Source to the PC When Using RS232
Connect the AC source to the PC using an RS232C cable.
Set the AC source COM port settings as follows:
Baud rate: 19200 baud for model 2003RP
Data bits: 8
Stop bits 1
Parity bits: none
Handshake: Hardware
The AC source is configured to accept the above setting.
Select the RS232 interface by sliding the interface selection DIP switch on the rear panel to
the RS232 position.
