Preparing the Oscilloscope for Use

To connect a printer

To connect a printer

The oscilloscope connects to a parallel printer through the Parallel output 
connector on the rear of the oscilloscope. You will need a parallel printer cable 
to connect to the printer.

1 Attach the 25-pin small “D” connector to the Parallel output connector 

on the rear of the oscilloscope.  Tighten the thumbscrews on the cable 
connector to secure the cable.

2 Attach the larger 36-pin “D” connector to the printer.

3 Set up the printer configuration on the oscilloscope.

a Press the 

Utility

 key, then press the 

Print Confg

 softkey.

b Press the 

Print to:

 softkey and set the interface to 

Parallel

.

c Press the 

Format

 softkey and select your printer format from the list.

For more information on printer configuration, refer to the “Utilities” chapter 
in the User’s Guide.

To connect an RS-232 cable

The oscilloscope can be connected to a controller or a PC through the RS-232 
connector on the rear of the oscilloscope. An RS-232 cable is shipped with each 
54642A/42D oscilloscope and may be purchased for the 54641A/41D 
oscilloscopes.

1 Attach the 9-pin “D” connector on the RS-232 cable to the RS-232 

connector on the rear of the oscilloscope. Tighten the thumbscrews on 
the cable connector to secure the cable

2 Attach the other end of the cable to your controller or pc.

3 Set up the RS-232 configuration on the oscilloscope.

a Press the 

Utility

 key, then press the 

I/O

 softkey.

b Press the 

Controller

 softkey and select 

RS-232

.

c Press the 

Baud

 softkey and set the baud rate to match your controller or pc.

d Press the 

XON DTR

 softkey and set the handshake to match your controller 

or pc.

For more information on RS-232 configuration, refer to the “Utilities” chapter 
in the User’s Guide.
