5.2-4 Section 5: Using the Model 9100 — Procedure Mode: Safety and General Notes
Final Width = 215mm
5.2.4 Printing Setup
The results of adjustment and verification operations on UUTs can be printed on one of
two forms of certificate. A suitable printer must be connected and switched on-line, and
the required certificate style, format and data must be entered into the 9100 memory.
Then with the correct printer type enabled, the 9100 internal program will generate the
required certificate.
5.2.4.1 Printer Type
The printer to be used should be capable of printing 120 characters per line, and must be
able to print the Code Page 437 character set. Most printers compatible with Epson FX,
Canon Bubble-Jet or Hewlett-Packard Desk-Jet are suitable. The printer is connected to
the 25-way D-type port on the 9100 rear panel.
5.2.4.2 Certificate Formatting and Data Presentation
Config mode is used to select the style of certificate to be printed, and to set the format
of page length, headers, footers, etc. In addition, such certificate entries as laboratory
identification, temperature and humidity can be added. Details of these elements of
Config mode can be found in Section 3, paras 3.3.2.12 to 3.3.2.22.
5.2.4.3 Enable Printing
Printing must be enabled, using the Config mode screen keys 'PRINTER' and the
appropriate selection of printer type (refer to Section 3, paras 3.3.2.6).
5.2.5 Saving Results on Memory Cards
Front Panel 'PROCEDURE' and 'RESULTS' Slots
In Procedure mode, the procedures for adjustment and verification operations for UUTs
are controlled from a pre-programmed memory card, inserted in the left 'PROCEDURE'
slot on the 9100 front panel. The results of these operations can be saved on Static RAM
memory cards, inserted in the right 'RESULTS' slot. The 9100 'Test' mode of operation
can be used to erase SRAM cards containing old results, and initialize them as blank
results cards (refer to Volume 2, Section 8, paras 8.3.4.5).
Although 'FLASH' cards are used to store procedures, they cannot be used for storing
results.
Use of Model 9010
The Fluke Model 9010 provides a means of programming 'Procedure' cards for users'
requirements, also formatting blank 'Results' cards; and later reading the saved results for
analysis, auditing and generation of high quality certificates.
