The 100DLX is
constructed by field service engineers and famous for its convenience
in use and reliability. It's designed to test the new RS232
standards, it converts between DB9 and DB25 interfaces, necessary
for those working with portable computers.
The Comtest 100DLX
comes with features not found on any other RS232 Breakout Box,
the monitors in the breakout system are line powered (no batteries
needed), the active circuitry offers the possibility to test
signals for strength and stores short duration events not visible
to the naked eye.
While active
circuits in most competitors products only manage speeds up
to 150Kb (analog circuitry) the Comtest 100DLX works up to 2.5Mb.
It has an effective 5 level Signal Strength test, the pulse
traps increase the functionality of the results measured by
the unassigned monitors.
The in-line design
makes the 100DLX easy to read out. The ultra bright monitors
show well even at the lower voltages used in the new RS232
standards. The DB9/25 adapters allow the 100DLX to be used in
all possible DB9/25 configurations.
The Ground Potential
Difference test is especially important in systems where different
grounds (wall outlets) are used, the 100DLX is able to monitor/trap
differences as low as 0.3 volt. The Current Loop circuitry allows
test of short haul modems (often used in RS232 environment).Two
+/- source voltages and two 3 Kohm terminations are provided.
