Printing Measurement Data and Memory Card Directory

An RS-232 link between the instrument and a printer allows printing of the following data:

Printing the Review Array (Figure 5-4)

Printing the Memory Card Directory(Figure 5-5)

The following procedures describe the operation of this link. Before continuing, verify the instrument and the printer have been properly connected (Figure 5-1), and configured for operation (Figure 5-2).

Problems?

If the printer does not operate after the RS-232 connection has been made and the instrument and printer RS-232 parameters have been set, check the following:

1.No characters. No operation of any kind usually indicates a cabling problem, hardware incompatibility (e.g., connecting to a printer with a parallel input), or the printer is not on-line and ready for operation (ribbon, paper, power, interlocks, etc.).

2.Incorrect characters. Incorrect printer function (rapid paper feeds, wrong characters) usually indicates a configuration incompatibility, i.e., the instrument and printer baud rate and parity don’t match.

3.Missed characters. The Data Bucket Hydra Series II RS-232 port is different from the RS-232 port on the Data Acquisition Hydra Series II (Model 2620A) and Data Logger Hydra Series II (Model 2625A), because of the addition of three modem control lines, CTS, RTS, and DSR (see Appendix D). If the printer occasionally loses characters, the printer may need to control the data flow from the instrument. Try enabling CTS "on" to see if this solves the problem.

Printing Measurement Results During Scanning

Perform the procedure in Figure 5-3 to print measurement results during scanning. The destination for the scanned data can be the printer, memory card, both the printer and the memory card, or no destination, where the data is saved only in the Review array. The mode for the printing to the printer or memory card can be all scanned data, scanned data only when any scanned channel is in alarm, or scanned data only when an alarm transitions from one alrm stat to another.
