Computer Interface :
This monitor has a RS-485 Serial Communication port for interfacing with a PC. The PC and the monitor operate in a host-slave configuration in a multi-drop network through this interface. The PC, as the host will give commands and send queries. The monitor will carry the various functions as per the required information in response to the queries.

The firmware of the monitor sends the instrument data like Instrument ID, Instrument type, Input range, Display range, alarm settings, alarm status, current reading, diagnostic status of EHT/GM tube etc. to the Host PC on demand. The firmware receives commands from Host PC and carries out the setting of different parameters like Instrument ID, Instrument type, Input range, Display range, alarm settings, Ack, Reset, EHT setting, Instrument address etc. The configuration settings are password protected and the password is user defined.
The detailed specifications for the interface are as follows:-

Type : RS-485 Multi-drop Serial Communication Port, Half Duplex Bi-directional communication.
Character Format : ASCII
Protocol : Modbus/RTU
Bit Rate : User configurable to 9600 or 19200 bits per sec.
Address : User configurable from 0 to 255.
Connector : 9-pin D-type connectors (2 connectors connected in parallel for daisy chaining a number of instruments). The mating connectors with cover are supplied.

Self Diagnostics:
The monitor has built-in self diagnostics. On being powered it performs tests to ensure that all components and sub-systems are functioning properly. It checks for the Power supply, High Voltage Supply, Detector and pulse processing electronics.
