[comp.sys.handhelds] HP-48 UART from ML?

slsw2@cc.usu.edu (02/09/91)

When I bought my HP-48, I was hoping to be able to use it to control SDI-12
instrumentation. SDI-12 is a 1200 baud standard for things like intelligent
voltmeters, pressure transducers, etc. I've got a box that converts RS232
to SDI-12, but the timing of the RPL UART interface is such that I can't use
the calculator for this; SDI-12 instruments detect the end of a frame by the
time between characters and the HP-48 sends a string out two characters at
a time with a big space between. 

So, does anybody know how the UART works at the ML level so that I can play
with it that way or do I get to disassemble the code and figure it out for
myself?
