Data exchange via serial interface

Data can be output via the serial interface for test and diagnostic purposes. However, the serial interface is only switched on when the power supply unit is used. Data is only output if "Monitor" is set in the "Measurement" menu. The following output appears after the start (Texts in italics are explanations):

"Matrix 8 x 8″, "Matrix 24 x 16"

In general, data output via the serial interface provides more information than is possible via the LCD.
