Note: Refer to Appendix A on page 13 for information on
connector pin-outs.
The CMG-6TC has a serial console, which can be accessed via pins
Y (ground), Z (console output) and a ( console input) of the connector.
This is a TTL-level interface (rather than RS232) so a suitable adaptor
is required before it can be interfaced directly to, say, a PC or laptop.
1. Using a suitable TTL-to-USB or TTL-to-Serial adaptor, connect pins
Y, Z and a on the instrument connector to a PC.
2. Connect the instrument to a power supply as follows:
• If using the optional Güralp supplied cable, a DC supply of
between 9V and 36V is required.
• If you are connecting directly to the instrument, a ±5V DC
supply is required.
3. Open a connection from the PC to the instrument using terminal
emulator software such as: minicom or picocom (Linux); or
Hyperterminal or PuTTY (Windows). Configure the connection to
38,400 baud, 8 data bits, no parity bits, 1 stop bit (“8-N-1”) and
no hardware or software flow-control.
4. Once a connection has been established, disconnect and re-
connect the instrument's power supply to re-boot it.
5. The boot sequence should look something like this:
