9 PRINTING REPORTS – Report
The printed reports of the Sound or Vibration measurement results in the
predefined format can be obtained by means of the Report list. The Report
list contains the following elements:
Title enables the user to edit the text added to the file
and to the report to be printed;
Print Results enables the user to print out the measurement
results on the default printer or to send the
measurement results to a PC using SvanPC
software and USB interface;
Print Options enables the user to determine the options of the
report.
In order to obtain the report the user has to connect the instrument to the printer’s RS 232 port using the SV 55
RS 232 interface. This hardware interface is hidden in the Cannon type, 9-pin RS 232 plug-in. On the other end
of the SV 55 interface, which itself looks like a cable, there is the USB Host plug-in. This plug-in should be
placed in the USB Host socket of the instrument.
It is also possible to connect the instrument to the USB port of a PC using the proper cable. Measurement
results can be easy downloaded to any PC (using the SC 16 USB interface cable and SvanPC software) and
printed out on the printer attached to a PC.
Note: The converter SV 55 serves as the RS 232 interface. The SV 55 connection to the
USB Host socket is detected and after successful detection the headphone icon is switched on.
The transmission with the use of SV 55 is possible only when the instrument is not connected to a
PC with the USB Device port.
In the RS232 list (path: <Menu> / Instrument /
RS232) the user has to select the proper
speed of the transmission (Baud Rate) and
the parameter called Time Out.
The RS 232 interface transmission
(Baud Rate) speed can be selected from the
following available values:
1200 (bits / second), 2400 (bits / s),
4800 (bits / s), 9600 (bits / s), 19200 (bits / s),
38000 (bits / s), 57600 (bits / s) or
115200 (bits / s).
The transmission speed should correspond to the same one selected in a printer. The other RS 232
transmission parameters are fixed to 8 bits for data, No parity & 1 Stop bit. The default value of the Time Out
parameter is equal to one but it can be too short period for the printers, which are not fast enough. In such
cases this parameter may have to be increased.
The description of the SV 55 pin-outs is given in App. C. Printers with the different connections on the RS 232
socket require the special, individual RS 232 – RS 232 cable that should fulfil the suitable wiring crossover
connections.
Printers, in which only the Centronics interface is available instead of the RS 232, can be connected to the
instrument by means of the SV 52 RS 232 – Centronics interface.
Printers, which have only a USB interface, are currently not driven by the instrument.
