rs232 cable between lockin SR830 and PC

[acostafeny]

Hi,

I have an lock-in Amplifier SR830 and I need to read data from SR830 (DCE, db25) to computer (DTE, db9).

I read the manual of lock-in and another tutorials, but can not understand, because I do not have experience this.

Please, I would like of an exemplo which show me how I can do a cable: SR830 (DCE, db25) <-> computer (DTE, db9).

Thanks any infor.
Acosta.

See pg 4-27 of the manual- says to use a straight through cable:

So on both the DB25 and DB9  ends, connect 2 to 2, and 3 to 3. For ground connect pin 7 on the DB25 end to pin 5 on the DB9 end.

EDIT: corrected grounding pin for DB25- it's been soooo long since I used one of those.

acostafany,

There are hundreds and hundreds of vendors that provide such cables. All of them would understand what a dte-dce 25 pin to 9 pin cable is. Google is your friend.
