8.3 Printout Format Printout format Resolution of printed graphs Graph resolution Fit results onto single sheet Page length Printing
When the sequence test results are printed, the format is similar to that used on the screen,
but the headings are extended and tolerance details are added when tolerance testing is in
use. Sequence results will usually fit onto a single test sheet, although the LA102 will
start a second sheet if it needs to. It is often desirable to squeeze such printouts onto a
single sheet by increasing the number of lines per inch (section 8.4, configuration I),
reducing the graph height (section 8.4, configuration H) or by suppressing unwanted
results values (section 5.5).
Frequency response graphs are always stored as 256 points with 1/256dB resolution, so
the printed graph will be much higher resolution than that seen on the 84×32 pixel
display.
8.4 Printers and the Configuration Menu Printer configurations Printout format
Various configuration options determine the printer type, baud rate and printout format.
Hold
and press to obtain the configuration menu on the LA102, as described
in section 1.6. Then move the cursor with the
and keys until it is under
