PRINTER (SPECIAL KEY)
The Printer Set-Up feature allows the operator to set up the gauge to
communicate with an RS-232C serial device such as a printer or
computer. See Chapter 5 and Appendix C for information on how to
print data.
To access the Printer Set-Up feature, press 〈2〉 Print Set-Up at the
Gauge Setup menu shown on page 3–9.
Using the number keys, select a menu option. The 32-column option
presents information in a non-delimited, narrative format. The
spreadsheet format creates comma-delimited output.
After the serial port setup is selected, the gauge prompts the
operator for the communication protocol. To select a protocol, use
the number keys. After the protocol is selected, the gauge displays:
The gauge displays the current baud rate setting on the first line. To
select a baud rate, use the corresponding number key.
The gauge changes the baud rate and returns to the Gauge Setup
menu. Return to the Ready screen by pressing the 〈ESC〉 key.
To connect the gauge to a serial printer, unscrew the cover from the
9-pin serial port on the back of the gauge. Connect a serial printer
cable to the gauge serial port. Connect the serial printer cable to the
printer (or computer) serial port.
Serial data can also be sent with the control unit separated from the
gauge base. Refer to the Separating the Control Unit section on
page 5–2.
