RS232 Hankdshake and connection to TTi 1705
Posted: Sat Sep 20, 2014 11:42 am
Can anyone help here, im trying to communicate with a TTi 1705 multi meter via RS232 with the intent of being able to change modes ie OHM's, volts, continuity and Freq etc at a push of a button away from the meter. The meter's Baud rates are 2400, 9600 or 19200.
The data sheet for the meter says Pin 2, 3 and 5 may be used as a conventional RS232 interface with XON/XOFF handshaking. Pins 7,8 and 9 are additionally used when the instrument is connected to the ARC interface. Signal grounds are connected to safety ground.
Do I need handshake it I am just sending commands?
Thanks
Tony
