Configuring a Plot Function
Press and then select the parallel port interface function by pressing until
the correct function appears.
❏ If you choose , the parallel port is dedicated for normal copy device use
(printers or plotters).
❏ If you choose , the parallel port is dedicated for general purpose I/O, and
cannot be used for printing or plotting.
• Choose if your printer has a serial (RS-232) interface, and then configure the print
function as follows:
a. Press and enter the printer's baud rate, followed by .
b. To select the transmission control method that is compatible with your printer, press
(transmit control - handshaking protocol) until the correct method appears.
❏ If you choose , the handshake method allows the printer to control the data
exchange by transmitting control characters to the network analyzer.
❏ If you choose , the handshake method allows the printer to control the data
exchange by setting the electrical voltage on one line of the RS-232 serial cable.
NOTE Because the handshake takes place in the hardware rather than the firmware
or software, it is the fastest transmission control method.
4. Press and then until
appears.
If You Are Plotting to a Pen Plotter
1. Press and then until
appears.
2. Configure the analyzer for one of the following plotter interfaces:
• Choose if your plotter has a GPIB interface, and then configure the plot
function as follows:
a. Enter the GPIB address of the plotter (default is 05), followed by .
b. Press and if there is no external controller connected to
the GPIB bus.
c. Press and if there is an external controller connected to the
GPIB bus.
• Choose if your plotter has a parallel (Centronics) interface, and then configure the
