4.2 Using a Portable Printer
The 2237 Controller includes a standard serial port interface.
It is designed to work with portable serial printers. Contact
your Brüel & Kjær dealer for more information about printers
recommended for use with the 2237 Controller.
4.2.1 To Make a Print
If you are using a portable printer, you will get the best
results by printing each set of measurements immediately
after you have taken them. If you want to save your meas-
urements as records, then it is best to download the records
to a computer and print from a spreadsheet program. This
is because records are stored in a spreadsheet format, which
will not print correctly.
To connect the sound level meter to a serial printer, you must
use Brüel & Kjær adaptor cable AO1386. Contact your
Brüel & Kjær dealer if you do not have one.
To print measurement results:
1. If you have already taken the measurement you wish to
print, do not turn off the sound level meter. If you do,
your results will be erased.
2. Connect one end of a Brüel & Kjær adaptor cable AO1386
to the serial port on the back of the sound level meter.
3. Tighten the cable’s connector screws to the screw holes
on the sound level meter.
4. Connect the other end of the cable to your printer as
described in your printer manual.
5. If necessary, switch on the printer as described in your
printer manual.
