12 RS-232C Control

The COM connector (D-sub 9-pin) on the rear panel of the recorder conforms to the RS-
232C signal format. Thus, the recorder can be controlled from a host computer by
connecting an RS-232C cable (commercially available) to the COM connector.
!
• Use a shielded RS-232C cable.
• Data will not be recorded for the first one second after the REC command via RS-232C.
