Your full-handshake hookup is correct, although it is missing the analyzer DTR to pc DSR (paralleled with pc CTS), but since you are configuring for no-handshake, it may not matter.

?

You say the adapter DTR is putting out a negative level. It should assert (go positive) when the pc opens the port.

?

The analyzer does need DCD and CTS inputs asserted high.

My notes for my 8594E option 043 and firmware 950914 say that DCD asserted should indicate ¡®L¡¯ (for LISTEN, rx enable) in the lower right of the screen, which gets overwritten by ¡®T¡¯ (for TALK ENABLE) when CTS is asserted.

Subject: [HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment] HP 8595E SA DB-25 RS232 is not functioning.

?

Hi all,

I want to connect my HP 8595E to my PC using the only available port it has, RS232 via a DB-25 connecter (option 023).
As i couldn't find out the correct pinout i managed to make a quick limited teardown, remove the RS232 board and confirm the pinout.


So the pinout I have figured out is as follows:

P1. GND ( It should be the shielding but it's shorted to GND)

P2. is MC1488 Output so it should be the TxD

P3. is SN75189 Input so it should be the RxD

P4. is MC1488 Output so if we follow the universal pinout it may be RTS

P5. is SN75189 Input so if we follow the universal pinout it may be CTS

P6. unconnected

P7. GND

P8. is SN75189 Input? so if we follow the universal pinout it may be DCD

P20. is MC1488 Output so if we follow the universal pinout it may be DTR

?

So following the Programmer's Guide I made the following connections and i gave it a try

?

SA? ? ? ? ? ? ?PC (USB RS232 adapter)

P1. GND? ? ?Unconnected

P2. TxD? ? ? RxD

P3. RxD? ? ? TxD

P4. RTS? ? ? DCD

P5. CTS? ? ? DTR? ?(measured -6V coming from the adapter)

P6. unconnected

P7. GND? ? ?GND

P8. DCD? ? ?RTS

P20. DTR? ?CTS

?

PS. SA is operating RS232 at -11V to +11V while my adapter is operating at -6V to +6V but this shouldn't be the case.

?

But still I don't receive any replies.

?

SA Baud rate is 9600, my RealTerm config is Parity None, Data bits 8, Stop bit 1, No hardware flow control

Does anyone with this option figured out to establish communication with the SA?
