16) Connection direct to a computer.
Direct connection to a computer RS232 can be made by connecting Pin 8 to a 1k series resistor and connecting the other end of the resistor to the computer RS232 input. The mode is called pseudo RS232. On a standard D9 socket, connect the output of the ID2/12/20 vai the series 1k to pin2 of the D-type. Connect the ground to pin5 on the D-type.
