The PDA1232 is designed to convert the serial output of the ProVu meter to an unbalanced, full-duplex RS-232 signal, ensuring seamless communication between your ProVu meter and other RS-232 compatible devices. The RS-232 port features a female DB9 connector with the following pin configuration:
- Pin 2 (RX Output)
- Pin 3 (TX Input)
- Pin 5 (Signal Ground)
Additionally, pins 7 (RTS) and 8 (CTS) are tied together, as well as pins 1 (CD), 4 (DTR), and 6 (DSR), to facilitate proper communication setup.
Key Features:
- Powered by ProVu Meter: The PDA1232 receives power through the ProVu meter M-Link connection, eliminating the need for an external power source.
- Diagnostic LEDs: Three LEDs provide clear diagnostic information:
- Power (P) LED: Indicates when the adapter is properly powered.
- Transmit Data (TX) LED: Indicates when the adapter is sending data from the computer side.
- Receive Data (RX) LED: Indicates when the adapter is receiving data from the ProVu meter.
The PDA1232 adapter ensures reliable data transmission and easy integration with your ProVu meter setup, providing a robust solution for your serial communication needs.
