SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION

AIM OF THIS GUIDEBOOK This book is designed to assist with using a Norbar electronic measurement product to communicate by serial data (RS-232-C). Over time Norbar products have evolved. This guidebook is designed to document these changes so all versions can be interconnected with the minimum of inconvenience. NORBAR PRODUCT COVERED BY THIS GUIDEBOOK

Do not interchange the 3 systems without the correct lead or damage may occur. A system that does not include all Norbar CE marked products may not be compliant. One off specials and non-standard products are not covered by this guidebook. WHAT IS RS-232-C ? The Electronic Industries Association (EIA) devised a standard that specifies the electrical characteristics, connection requirements and signal functions for a serial data interface. Their Recommended Standard is numbered 232, hence RS-232-C. It is used in preference to standard logic levels as RS-232-C levels are more immune to noise pickup and signal distortions. DTE OR DCE ? Two interface types are defined: Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) and Data Communications Equipment (DCE). The scheme dates back many years to when time sharing computers were the normal; a single large mainframe computer was connected to a terminal via a serial interface. The idea was to always connect a DTE interface such as a terminal to a DCE interface such as a mainframe. If the correct pins are designated a straight through lead (Pin 1 to Pin 1, Pin 2 to Pin 2, Pin 3 to Pin 3 .etc.) can be used. For example: Data can be transmitted on pin 2 from a DTE to be received on Pin 2 of the DCE, the returning data uses Pin 3 at both DCE and DTE.

DTE (TERMINAL) DIRECTION DCE (MAINFRAME)

Pin 2 (Transmit) Pin 2 (Receive)

Pin 3 (Receive) Pin 3 (Transmit)

Other signal lines (RTS & CTS handshake and DTR & DSR handshake) are treated in a similar way. Equipment other than a mainframe or terminal can be defined as DTE or DCE, so being potentially confusing. A modern day personal computer is normally designated DTE, as are most Norbar measurement instruments. So when connecting a Norbar instrument to a personal computer (DTE to DTE) it is usually not possible to use a straight through lead, instead special leads need to be used. The Data Lead Kit will cover most of these possibilities, see Appendix A.

SECTION 2 (A ) ORIGINAL ETS/DTS/TWA

These are the early ETS, DTS and TWA instruments, where RS-232-C output was an option. The interface board is located in the lid portion of the case in the same location as the battery pack option, so only one of these two options can be fitted. To fit the RS-232-C option to an existing ETS / DTS / TWA interface board Part number 41202 is required. HOW TO IDENTIFY (i) Made before April 1994.

(ii) Use of a 25 way D socket for RS-232-C output connector. (iii) The power ON/OFF button is on the front panel. (iv) Model number is shown below.

(NOTE : All specials with RS-232-C output may have a non-standard connector output.)

APPENDIX K TROUBLE SHOOTING

In the event of failure to communicate please check: CORRECT LEAD Ensure the correct lead is used to link the relevant pins. In many cases a null modem will be required; this may be incorporated in the lead. CORRECT WIRING Check for wire continuity using an electronic tester. BAUD RATE Ensure baud rate of Norbar product and receiving device match, this is usually 1200 or 9600 baud. CONTROL WORD Ensure control word (PARITY, DATA BITS and STOP BITS) of Norbar product matches receiving equipment. The control word of most Norbar products can be set. CONNECTOR TYPE / GENDER If the connector type or connector gender is not correct, use a gender changer or make alterations. HANDSHAKING This is when communicating devices talk to each other to see if data can be sent. The Pro-log, TST, TTT & TTL products can support handshaking. Refer to receiving devices manual for control lines to be linked out if handshaking is not to be used. SPECIAL DATA OUTPUT CONSIDERATIONS Check if equipment receiving data requires the units of measurement inhibited or a leading character. This is particularly applicable when interfacing to Mitutoyo equipment. DATA OUTPUT IS OVERWRITTEN The printer may need a line feed. For the Pro-Log / TST / TTT / TTL set Output Line Feed to YES via the menu SET UP / CURRENT SETTINGS / SERIAL PORT. DATA OUTPUT TOO FAST The printer may be too slow. To slow down the serial data output (Pro-Log, TST, TTT & TTL only) change the Line Delay via the menu SET UP / CURRENT SETTINGS / SERIAL PORT TEST OUTPUT On TST, TTT & TTL select CONFIRM at the end of the serial port settings, the instrument will keep sending a TEST OUTPUT message to help fault finding.
