In the example above, the first sample occurred at 22:40. The next sample to the right occurred at 22:41,
followed by the next at 22:42, and so on. This pattern is repeated to the end of the line, and then repeats
on the line below.
Data Log Print Menu
The Data Log Print Menu appears by selecting
from the Data Log Menu (page 58). The data log
must not be empty, and the communication protocol must be set to ASCII before entry (see COM Menus
on page 66), or an exception message will be displayed. The transmitter’s real time clock should also be
set to the correct date and time.

), and select

Printing
until the report is done. The report always begins at 00:00 on the start date, and
continues for the number of days specified. If no data has yet been logged, the report will show four
dashes (----) in place of samples.
Data Log Print Format Menu
The Data Log Print Format Menu appears by selecting
Format
from the Data Log Print Menu (above)
and is used to control the appearance of the report, and the interaction of the transmitter with the device.
Figure 67. Data Log Print Format Menu
The transmitter adds a CR (ASCII 13) or CR/LF (ASCII 13 and 10) at the end of each line. If the lines of
the report appear to be printing over each other, choose the CR/LF option. If the lines appear to be double
spaced, choose the CR option.
The number of sample data samples (gas readings) appearing across the page is programmable from 1 to
30. This is designed to allow reports to fit on small thermal printers, and on conventional sized printers.
A wider report takes less time to print because the date and time fields are printed less frequently.
