8. DIGITAL DATA OUTPUT
For data output the ALMEMO

6290-7B measuring instrument with built-in
printer has, at first, the integrated thermal printer and then also a serial
interface. During a measurement the measured values of all connected
sensors are scanned in cycles and, according to the output mode, provided as
output (see 8.1). The built-in printer can present the measured values as a list
or a line plot. The output via interface is available with three format options.
Optionally, the measured values can be buffered in the instrument and can
later be represented in any output format. As the measured values are being
logged with the date and time, these parameters should be programmed
accordingly (see 7.2.4). Apart from the measured values, it is also possible to
provide an output of the programming of the sensors and of the instrument.
8.1 Output Mode
The following output options can be set by using the output mode in function

the output mode flashes and can be altered by
using the keys

and
#
. The selected output mode is accepted by pressing the
key
ENTER
once again. During PRINT mode the arrow ´
LIST
´, and during PLOT
mode the arrow ´
GRAPH
´, and in case of an output to the serial interface the
arrow ´
RS232
´, is indicated for control.
8.2 Built-in Printer
The measuring instrument with built-in printer is generally equipped with a
dot-matrix thermal printing unit that can either print 40 alphanumerical
characters per line or 280 x 8 pixels graphically. Two operating modes PRINT
and PLOT are available and can be set by selecting the output mode. In both
modes the measured values are collected in a cycle and are provided
accordingly. In addition, it is also possible to print the programming or all
maximum and minimum values.
