The analyzer has several ways to communicate to the outside world. Users can input data and receive
information directly via the front panel keypad and display. Direct communication with the CPU is also available
by way of the analyzer’s RS-232 & RS-485 I/O ports or an optional Ethernet port. The analyzer can also send
and receive different kinds of information via its external digital I/O connectors and the three analog outputs
located on the rear panel.
