Section 7.4
You can connect a PC (or other controller) to the VP-747 via the RS-232 port
for remote control.
To connect a PC to a VP-747
unit, using the Null-modem adapter provided
with the machine (recommended):
• Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub rear panel port on the VP-747
unit to the
Null-modem adapter and connect the Null-modem adapter with a 9-wire
flat cable to the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC
To connect a PC to a VP-747
unit, without using a Null-modem adapter:
• Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC to the RS-232 9-pin
D-sub rear panel port on the VP-747
unit, forming a cross-connection
