Looks like my memory is faulty and that I need a straight through cable (see my earlier post dated Friday, December 02, 2011).

Partridge Sent: 07 July 2017 13:44 To: 'Discussion of precise voltage measurement' Subject: [volt-nuts] Solartron 7081 serial comms Well that's odd. I just tried to talk to three different 7081s from two different computers via the serial port using Putty and a null-modem cable. Port set for 9600,8,n,1 7081 dip switches in the OFF position. Result a deafening silence even after an "OUTPUT,RS232,ON" command typed blind at the Putty console. I have buzzed out the serial cable which looks like: <http://www.gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=x68000:rs232_null_modem_cable_with_p artial_handshaking> I know this has worked before as I used the serial port for calibration last year. Should I be using a straight-through cable? My memory says no, but ... I even rolled back Windows 10 Creators Update in case that was the culprit. Help!
