Fluke PM3370B user manual Interface, Printer or plotter, Layout

5 - 54 FUNCTION REFERENCE

Interface

The instrument is equipped with an RS-232 Interface as standard. This interface can be used with an RS-232 printer or plotter.

The IEEE 488.2 Interface is available as factory installable option. This interface can be used with IEEE-488 compatible printers or plotters.

For correct functioning, correct interface parameters must be set. This is done in the menu UTILITY >> PRINT&PLOT&CLOCK.

Press the IEEE / RS232 softkey to select the IEEE or the RS232 interface.

Printer or plotter

This selects the menu to set up a printer or plotter being used.

Printer type	Supported printers: HP2225, FX80, LQ1500,
	HPLASER (150 dpi), HP540 DeskJet or
	compatibles. The TRACK control is used to make
	the selection.
Plotter type	Supported plotters: HP7440, HP7550, HP7475A,
	HP7470A, HPGL (Can be used to import
	screenplots in a suitable word processing files),
	PM8277, PM8278 and dump-m1. This selects a
	trace dump to arbitrary waveform generator
	PM5150. The dump action is started with the front
	panel key HARD COPY or PLOT. Data transfer is
	possible via RS232 or IEEE option. The TRACK
	control is used to make the selection.
Layout

A submenu is provided to customize the output to the printer or plotter. This submenu changes, depending on the printer or plotter that has been selected.

	border in printed/plotted.
Paper size	This can be 11" or 12" for printer and A4 (A size) or
	A3 (B size) for plotters.
Plot format (plotters only)	This can be 1:1 and 2:1.
Trace information	If ‘yes’, the settings readout and measuring results
	are printed/plotted.
Colors (plotters only)	If ’yes’, the traces are plotted in different colors. If
