N-Type Interface for Model SM2, M and XM Processors

 

 

The N-type interface circuit is packaged into a flat box, onto which the SM2 , M or XM processor can be placed.(shown here with SM2)

 

THE N-KB (KEYBOARD) INTERFACE.

Configured to work with IBM PC's and Compatibles as well as with Apple Macintosh Systems, the KB system emulates the keyboard code for work with programs that accept a numerical keyboard entry. This includes Spreadsheets, D-Base and Wordprocessor Programs, etc. It is independent of the operating system used. The need for a program driver is eliminated. The KB Interface does not interfere with normal computer operation.. The computer keyboard remains fully operational, regardless whether or not the measuring instrument is in use .

Any data transmitted to the computer goes precisely
where a normal keyboard entry would go.

Optional and needed:
No. 1285-7 KB Cable Kit for PC's and 1285-ADB Cable for Apple Macintosh systems.


The N-RS232 (Serial) Interface

Interfacing via one of the computer's serial ports is the most common method. However the program in use needs to have a driver in order to communicate. Setup is also more complex since parity, baud rate, stop bits etc. need to be specified in many instances.
Available from Lasico: A keyboard emulating driver (RSKB) for the DOS operating system .It will permit communication with Spreadsheets, D-Base and Word-Processor programs, etc. much like the KB Interface described earlier.

Optional and needed : No. 1285-22 Serial Cable Kit .


The N-RT (Remote Terminal) Interface

Although the data transmission uses the RS232 format, the operational characteristics have the advantages of the N-KB interface. A special program driver is not needed.

Optional and needed : The Junction Box (1285-20) and the RT Cable (1285-21)


The N-PR (Printer) Interface.

Supplied complete with a special printing calculator (# 1285 -14) and interface cable (# 1285-6D).
All measuring results shown on the processor display can be transmitted to the printer, labeled with identification codes, dated, processed through the calculator section in any way desired and printed out. Important: the N-PR can be converted into a standard N -KB by the user.
