200S 67

II - 2 Data Interface

The 200S data interface includes the RS-232 serial port. The serial port

supports both bi-directional data communications which allows data to

be exported to, or imported from an external device. Also, external

operations via the data interface.

Data which can be exported from the 200S to an external serial device

includes:

 Job, and Installation configuration parameters.

 Non-linear error compensation tables.

 Measured value output (display values, or probing functions).

Data which can be imported into 200S from an external device

includes:

 Remote key commands from an external device

 Job, and installation configuration parameters

 Non-linear error compensation tables

For operations that support data transfer, an IMPORT/EXPORT soft

key is available. See "Import/Export" on page 18.

To export, or import data between the 200S and a personal computer,

the PC can use a common terminal communications software such as

Hyperterminal. This software processes the data being sent, or

received over the serial cable link. All data transferred between the

200S, and the PC is in ASCII text format.

To export data from the 200S to a PC, the PC must first be made ready

to receive the data to save it to a file. Setup the terminal

communication program to capture ASCII text data from the COM port

to a file on the PC. After the PC is ready to receive, start the data

transfer by pressing the 200S IMPORT/EXPORT soft key.

To import data into the 200S from a PC, the 200S must first be made

ready to receive the data.

8 Press the 200S IMPORT/EXPORT soft key.

8 After the 200S is ready, setup the terminal communications

program on the PC to send the desired file in ASCII text format.

The 200S does not support communication protocols such

as Kermit or Xmodem.
