Autoprint

Autoprint

The front panel setup procedure is summarized in Table 3-17. Begin this procedure by selecting MODE (KU). Select the scan data destination ("dESt" in right display) as "Print" (left display). For the Hydra Series II Data Logger, a destination of "both" can also be selected, allowing for simultaneous printing and storage. (For the Hydra Series II Data Acquisition Unit, "Print" is the only possible selection.) Then select the mode ("MOde" in right display) from "ALL", "ALAr", or "trAnS" (left display).

With the Autoprint function defined, press Uto enable or disable Autoprint. The "PRN" annunciator lights when Autoprint is enabled.

Memory Storage

Memory Storage is only available with the Hydra Series II Data Logger. Initiate the Memory Storage setup by selecting MODE (KU).

Now refer to Table 3-17. Select the scan data destination ("dESt" in right display) as "StorE" for memory storage only or "both" for simultaneous storage and printing. Then select the mode ("MOde" in right display) from "ALL", "ALAr", or "trAnS" (left display).

Once the destination and mode have been set, enable Memory Storage by pressing:

U

The "PRN" annunciator lights to indicate that Memory Storage is enabled.

Front panel controls allow you to send memory contents over the RS-232 computer interface to a printer. Retrieval can also be made through the RS-232 computer interface for data storage that has been accomplished either from the front panel or through the computer interface.

Warning

No data will be saved unless the “prn” annunciator is lit on the hydra series ii front panel florescent display.

For memory clearing, refer to Table 3-18. You can clear scan data memory by holding

Kpressed while momentarily pressing Uand answering "YES" in the left display as "CLEAr" appears in the right display. The instrument must be in Active or Inactive Mode; you cannot clear memory from Configuration Mode.

The F annunciator is dimly lit when the logging storage is nearly full (more than 1800 scans have been stored). The F annuciator is brightly lit when the logging storage is full (2047 scans). Storing additional scans causes the oldest scans to be overwritten.
