TALK ONLY for Printers
You can set the meter’s GPIB address to “31” which is the talk only mode. In this
mode, the meter can output readings directly to a printer without being addressed
by a bus controller. Address 31 is not a valid address if you are operating the
meter from the GPIB interface with a bus controller.
If you select the RS-232 interface and then set the GPIB address to the talk only
address (31), the meter will send readings over the RS-232 interface when in the
local mode.
