20SERIAL PORTThe serial port is for sending data to a PC or serial printer.When the TTT is measuring, data can be output on the serial interface automatically when the AUTO RESETtimer operates or when the 'PRINT / RESET' key is pressed. The data can include the measured value, unitsof measurement and time/date. Output can also be requested externally via pin 2 (ancillaries connector), seeancillaries section.SpecificationsParameter Options FactoryDefaults CommentsParity ODD, EVEN or OFF.

YES Limit status sent before data.Output units YES or NO. YES Measurement units sent after data.Output date & time YES or NO. NO Date & Time sent after data.Output line feed YES or NO. NO Line feed sent after data.Handshake NONE, CTS or X-ON/OFF NONE If required by receiver.Line delay 0.00 to 9999 SECONDS 0.50 Seconds Time delay in data output.Continuous output YES or NO NO Up to 22 readings per second intrack mode.SET TO FACTORY DEFAULTSMaximum number of characters per line = 24.Maximum number of requests in track mode = 4 per second (line delay set to 0).Transmitted data voltage levels are between +5 to +9 volts and –5 to -9 volts.Configured as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and conforms to RS-232-C specifications.TIP: If the serial port is not communicating with other equipment try:a) Check that all serial port parameters on the TTT and the equipment receiving data match.b) Check that the baud rate is set to the same as the equipment receiving data.c) Check that the connecting lead is wired correctly at both ends.d) Check if equipment receiving data requires the units of measurement inhibited or aleading character.e) Select CONFIRM at the end of the serial port settings, the TTT will keep sending a ‘TESTOUTPUT’ message to help fault finding.TIP: If the serial output is being overwritten set ‘Output Line Feed’ to YES.TIP: If the Serial data is being sent too quickly the printer may not keep up, so data is lost. To slowdown the TTT output change the ‘Line delay’ function.Pulse CountWhen in IMPULSE TOOL or CLUTCH TOOL modes, the pulse count is output on the next line following themeasured value. The pulse count will be output as follows ‘_/\_#=XXXX’. XXXX represents the number ofpulses.
