With a volt meter I find some pins have a constant -10.7 volts on
them which is the standard RS-232 for a no-data signal. In this static
measure the voltmeter sees no positive volts near +12 volts.
NB: It's quite common for serial ports on computers, these days, to be
nothing like "standard RS-232". That can be a problem for some devices
that you want to connect to it.
I'd be trying some tests by connecting two computers together, and
seeing what you get. Or plugging in an old modem, and doing the old ATI
command tests, etc.
requirement that the device be able to handle +/- 25 volts. Even
though you may have 15 volts on one end, you have to allow for
voltage drop on long runs.
I am used to seeing +/-12v and sometimes +/-5v depending on the
supply available. Depending on the state of a port, I would not be
at all surprised to see all negative voltages to ground. Remember, a
negative voltage is a logic 1, so the status and data line will all
be negative when the port is ready. (TD, DTR, RTS)
