Chapter 8 Interface Operations
General
The 4100 Series of ohmmeters is now available with a choice of two data outputs. The standard
output provides data in a binary-coded-decimal format. The latest data output available is a parallel
printer port for connecting directly to a Centronics compatible printer. Both interfaces are described
below.

The BCD outputs are fully compatible with the Valhalla Model 1248 BCD Comparator. When
connecting to the comparator using the standard IDC-2 interface cable, the end of the cable
possessing the wire break-outs is connected to the Model 1248.
