Technically YES, using the RS-449 Datacom test mode, since the signals are compatible with RS-530. However, we don't offer a DB25 test cable for RS-530. A DB37-to-DB25 adapter can easily be made, to match the specific pin-out of the DUT.
Although the MTX150 does not offer a test mode selection for EIA-530, TIA-530, RS-530 or RS530, the RS-499 serial interface shares the same signals and it can be used to test RS-530 links. However, the typical RS-530 interface uses a DB25 connector, while the RS-449 cable supplied by VeEX uses DB37 connector. So, a DVI-to-DB25 or DB37-to-DB25 adapter would be required.
There are some different versions of the RS-530 interface and connectors, which makes it difficult to offer a single native test cable for it. That is why we recommend making adapters for the DB37 RS449 cable or adapter cables directly from the DVI connector to RS-530, with the required connector and pin-out for the DUT.
Test Set's Configurable Datacom Connector
When ordered with the Datacom testing (hardware) option, the MTX150 comes equipped with a female 29-pin MicroCross connector (DVI style). The port can be configured as DTE or DCE. This is the generic pin-out:
