Communication Port
Gasboy MCE has one asynchronous communication port for connecting RS232 to a PC. The
connection should be made with the supplied cable. If the cable needs to be extended, the
overall cable length is limited to 50 feet. See “Installing MCE” on page 2-1 for specific
installation connections.
The serial port is used for connecting a PC. All commands to the encoder are processed
through this port. Refer to “Configuring COM Port Settings” on page 8-2 to program which
PC COM port the encoder is to be connected to.
