The output data can be formatted either in a height-versus-gyration
table format or in a full table format which includes the height, ram
pressure, gyration angle, and gyration rate for each gyration.
To automatically output gyration versus height data, connect the
compactor to the computer or printer and turn on the Auto Output
option as described on page 3–11.
NOTE
Before outputting data to a printer or computer, ensure
that the Model 5850v2 is properly connected to the
