The data output is a 16 digit stream which can be
utilized for user's specific application.
A RS232 lead with the following connection will be
required to link the instrument with the PC serial port.
Meter PC
(3.5 mm jack plug) (9W 'D" Connector)
Pin 4
Pin 2
Pin 5

Page 18
The 16 digits data stream will be displayed in the
following format :
D15 D14 D13 D12 D11 D10 D9 D8 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
Each digit indicates the following status :
D15 Start Word
D14 4
D13 When send the upper display data = 1
When send the lower display data = 2
D12 & D11 Unit code no., refer to the table, page 16.
D10 Polarity
0 = Positive 1 = Negative
D9 Decimal Point(DP), position from right to the
left
0 = No DP, 1= 1 DP, 2 = 2 DP, 3 = 3 DP
D8 to D1 Display reading, D8 = MSD, D1 = LSD.
