Kett FD-660 - Outputting Past Measurement Data; Sample Printer Output; Computer Interface; Setting up and Transmitting Data

32
Output which may be generated includes data consisting of intermediate or nal measurements, sample codes,
and measurement times.
* A dot-matrix printer can also be used. In that case, however, graphical output cannot be obtained. Please contact
Kett if you require further information.
■ Sample Printer Output
* Note on the decimal precision of printed weight data
Although the minimum weight which may be displayed by the FD-660 is 0.005
grams, weights (Mass) are printed to a precision of 4 decimal points because
the values printed consist of averages from 7 measurements taken over each
30-second interval for each set of weight data output.

Connecting the RS-232C cable
With the power to the FD-660 and the computer both turned off, connect the RS-232C cable. Insert the
connector at the end of the RS-232C cable into the RS-232C port located at the rear of the FD-660 and then
tighten the screws located at both sides of the cable connector. Follow the same procedure to insert the RS-
232C cable into the RS-232C port of the computer.

FD-660 settings
Turn on the power to the FD-660 and set the measurement data output destination to ‘PC’. (See “8-4 Selection
of OUTPUT” on page 30)
l
Starting up the computer
Turn on the power to the computer and, when Windows has started, start the Data Logger software FDL-02 or
whatever software is to be used to read in data from the RS-232C interface.

■ Outputting Past Measurement Data
Record are stored of up to 50 past measurements in sequence from the most recent to the oldest. This data can be
output to a printer or computer.
1 Follow the directions given on page 30 “8-4 Selection of OUTPUT” to set the output format to either ‘TBL’ or ‘PC’.
2 From the weight display, press the [Select] key and hold the [Select] key down while pressing the [Start/Stop] key.
3 The data will then be output (in order) beginning from the most recently measured data. To stop printing while
printing is still in progress, press the [Start/Stop] key.
