TxD- Transmit Data (output)
This pin transmits serial data to an RS-232 or RS-422 device. The
serial data received is sent with the word length, baud rate, stop
bits, and parity configured for the particular port. This signal is
low true.
TxD+ Transmit Data (output)
This pin transmits serial data to an RS-422 device. The pin
functions identically to TxD- except that its polarity is inverted.
This signal is high true.
CTS+ Clear To Send (input) / 16 x Baud Clock (input)
The
CTS+
input is used as a hardware handshake line to prevent
the Serial488/4 from transmitting serial data to an RS-232 or RS-
422 device w hen it is not able to accept it. When
RTS/CTS
handshaking is selected using the (
G0
) command, the Serial488/4
will not transmit data out
TxD+
while this signal is un-asserted
(low). If
XON/XOFF
(
G1
) or no handshaking (
G2
) is selected,
the
CTS+
line is ignored when transmitting data.
If
XON/XOFF
(
G1
) or no handshaking (
G2
) is selected the
CTS
line may be used to input a clock signal which is sixteen times the
desired baud rate. T his mode is selected using the Baud Rate
command (
B11
).
CTS- Clear To Send (input) / 16 x Baud Clock (input)
The
CTS-
input is used as a hardware handshake line with RS-422
devices. The pin functions identically to
CTS+
except that its
polarity is inverted. This signal is low true.
RTS+ Request To Send (output) / 16 x Baud Clock (output)
The
RTS+
output is used as a hardware handshake line to prevent
an RS-232 device from transmitting serial data to the Serial488/4
when it is not able to accept it. When automatic
RTS/CTS
handshaking is selected using the (
G0
) and (
N0
) commands, the
Serial488/4 will assert (high) the
RTS+
signal when greater than
