RS-232 Interface Specifications
The Renaissance II Spirometry System
supports asynchronous commun-
ications to a computer system via a
RS-232C compatible serial port. Data
can be transmitted from the spirometer
only when it is docked in the base
station. The interface connection on
the base station is a standard 25-pin
IBM PC-AT style connector. The pin
locations for this connector are shown
in Figure 33. Puritan Bennett
recommends using a null modem cable
to connect the spirometer base station
to a PC.
Pin Function Descriptions
The function of the pins is described in Pin Function Descriptions (Table 11).
Pins 12, 13, 14, 16 and 18 are used for RS-232 communications for remote
control of the spirometer. All other pins are used for printer interfacing via
standard IEEE 1284 printer cable.
