You connect the multimeter to the
serial connector on the rear panel. The multimeter is configured as a
(Data Terminal Equipment) device. For all communications over
DTE
the -232 interface, the multimeter uses two handshake lines:
RS
(Data Terminal Ready) on pin 4 and
DTR
The following sections contain information to help you use the
multimeter over the

Do not use the RS-232 interface if you have configured the multimeter to
output pass/fail signals on pins 1 and 9. Internal components on the
RS-232 interface circuitry may be damaged.
