with a female DB-9 connector compatible with input to a PC serial port. The cable is approximately 6 feet
in length. Data is automatically output at the completion of each test.
The output data is ASCII text with the following comma delimited fields:

Test Type
The communications protocol will be:
Serial Comm RS232

The “Recall last result” command can send the information for the last test run out to the PC.

the instrument is in the standby mode “Ready” is displayed on the LED display. Pressing the red button
enters the setup menu. The red button scrolls through the choices, the blue button selects the choice
currently displayed.

“Set to Printer” or “Set to Computer”
If the display shows “Set to Printer” it is currently configured for output to a computer and pressing the
blue button will change the configuration to make it work with the external printer. To leave the setup

BUTTON, press the red button until the “Exit” option is displayed and then press the blue button to exit
the setup menu.
If the display shows “Set to Computer” it is currently configured for output to a printer and pressing the
blue button will change the configuration to make it work with a computer. To configure the FastPack
Analyzer for a Computer PRESS THE BLUE BUTTON. The system will beep, move the displayed text
from the first line of the display to the second line to confirm that the configuration was changed. There
will be a delay of a few seconds while the system stores the configuration in nonvolatile memory, then the
system will return to the standby mode and display “Ready”.
If the FastPack Analyzer is configured for output to an external printer, it will prompt the operator to
“Insert FastPack In Printer” each time a result is going to be sent out the communication port. The output
can be canceled by pressing the red button.
