SIMULTANEOUS OUTPUT TO COMPUTER AND PRINTER
Data can be output to both a computer and a printer simultaneously.
1. Enable the parallel port. (See Section 19.11 ) Follow the instructions for outputting data
to a computer.
2. The data will output to the computer and printer at the same time.
OUTPUT TIME SERIES DATA VIA NETWORK
Time Series data are stored as files on the hard disk (drive D:). These files can be accessed and
transferred using Windows Explorer. When the GDP-32
II
is connected to a Local Area Network,
any other computer on the network can also see the GDP hard drive. File transfer is now
facilitated by dragging and dropping files on the GDP to any desired folder on any other
computer.
NOTE: Program files and cache files can also be transferred this way.
To transfer time series files:
1. Turn OFF the GDP.
2. Connect the GDP-32
II
to the LAN using the multi-function interface cable.
NOTE: This is a special cable supplied by Zonge Engineering (P/N: GDP-32/2-ACC).
3. Start the GDP and get into Windows.
4. The GDP-32II is configured by default to have no password. It is also set to obtain its IP
address automatically. It’s name is set to appear as: GDP32IISNxx, where xx is the front
panel serial number. It’s default workgroup is “ENGINEERING”.
5. Once Windows is running, the GDP-32
II
should appear in the Network Neighborhood of
the other computers on the network. Now you can easily transfer files to other
computers.
NOTE: The time series files are stored in the directory D:\DATA.
6. Exit Windows on the GDP as you would any other computer.
