Exporting values via RS232

The Mx100 can send either the current stage position(XYZQ) out of the RS232 port. The port needs to be properly configured, and the correct cable needs to be used in order to successfully send the data. The “RS232” settings screen contains setup parameters for configuring the general-purpose IO port for on the Mx100 readout for serial data output. The port parameters configured on the Mx100 should match that of the connected device (PC). Note : The general purpose IO port on the Mx100 is used for both serial data transfer and button input. As such the wiring for the connection cable must be specific to the connection modes being used. Please see the signal assignment diagram at the end of this section for reference.
