5.2 ANALOG PLOT OUT TO XY RECORDERS.
This mode is possible for all versions of all mentioned oscilloscopes. The things
that can be plotted out are the waveform(s), the channel identification on the
CRT and the measuring graticule. The analog plot out can be used to make a
hard copy of the screen information Including all mentioned facilities. The set up
is done as follows (selections marked with # are recorder dependent. Refer the
operator's manual of the recorder):
- Enter the service menu by pressing MENU and keep this key pressed. Now
also press the AUTO SET key and • becomes visible in the LCD.
- Press softkey APPL to enter the applications select menu.
- Press softkey PLOT.
- If present, press softkey PLOT-KEY until "plot analog" appears in the top text
area of the CRT. This has the result that the analog plot action is started if the
front panel key PLOT is pressed. (When the instrument is not provided with an
IEEE or RS-232 cption, the PLOT-KEY softkey is not available.)
- Press softkey PLOT-A: this gives access to the set up menu for the analog plot
mode. Via this menu the PLOTSPEED (#, range 20 ... 2000 ms/dot) for
slow-rate limitations and the PENLIFT (#, pen on paper at high or low level)
can be adapted to the plotter. Moreover with GRID on, a graticule is plotted.
- Press front panel key AUTO SET in order to leave the service menu.
The plot out information becomes available at the 9 pin D-connector. This
connector Is at the rear of the oscilloscope. The output signal oonsists of X and
Y deflection signals of IV (100 mV/div) and the penlift signal at TTL level. For
interconnection between oscilloscope and XY recorder two cable types are
availabte. Both are equipped with a 9 pin connector that fits in the analog plot
out connector of the oscilloscope. The connector on the other end depends on
the type that is ordered:
- The PM9076/01 type has 6 banana plugs: black = neutral (3x),
red = Y-deflectlon, blue = X-deflection, green = pen lift.
- The PM9076/02 type has a 14 pole amphenol connector.
