It is also possible to send the measured data - in the form of ASCI characters - to a PC. To do this,
parameter PRINTER must be set accordingly (see Table 4). A special interface cable is required for
the purpose (see 6, Accessories and options).
The type of data printout is preset. Parameter
PRINTER can be used for selecting the printout type
(ASCII protocol or printer type and language); see 3.3.9, Changing of parameters. When sent to a PC
(Parameter
PRINTER = 0 or 1) the measured data will be separated by a tabulator (Tab). The
respective units of measurement are shown in Table 4 in square brackets ([…]).
