The PDA1232 adapter is specifically designed to convert the serial output from your ProVu meter into a full-duplex RS-232 signal. This allows for smooth communication between your ProVu meter and any RS-232 compatible devices.
The RS-232 port comes with a female DB9 connector, featuring the following pin layout:
- Pin 2 (RX Output)

- Powered by ProVu Meter: The PDA1232 draws power directly from the ProVu meter’s M-Link connection, so you won’t need an extra power supply.
- Diagnostic LEDs: Three LEDs offer clear diagnostic feedback:
- Power (P) LED: Shows when the adapter is receiving power.
- Transmit Data (TX) LED: Lights up when data is being sent from the computer.
- Receive Data (RX) LED: Indicates when data is being received from the ProVu meter.
The PDA1232 adapter guarantees dependable data transmission and simplifies the integration of your ProVu meter setup, making it an excellent choice for your serial communication requirements.
