Printing out measured values (PRINT/PRINT MEM button) (C.A 6543)
If you use a serial printer, choose the appropriate communication speed in the SET-UP menu, between
300...9600 bauds, then program the printer to the format run by the instrument (see § 6.1).
If you are using a parallel printer, you should set the signalling speed to "Parallel" when in SET-UP and
use the serial-to-parallel adapter that comes as an optional item (to plug in series the supplied cable +
adapter + Centronics printer cable).
There are two different printing modes possible :
- Instantaneous printing of measurement (PRINT)
- Printing of recorded data (PRINT memory)
If the data transmission to the printer is successful, the COM symbol flashes on the screen.
!
If a problem is experienced, the COM symbol remains permanently on the LCD screen without flashing.
6.3.1
Instantaneous printing of measurements (PRINT button)
Following a measurement or after accessing values in MR mode, use the PRINT function to print-off the
measurement results.
Pressing the button brings about the printing of:
- 1 set of measurements (U/R/DAR/PI/date/time) for normal tests,
- the R(t) values if the 'time-controlled test' has been used.
To stop printing, alter the position of the selector switch.
According to the function used, the following models are obtained:
