FUNCTION
The PRINT function sends the measurements taken in real time by the instrument inputs directly to
a PC or a printer. Print data units of measurements are the same as those used on the display. Print-
ing always includes
two
parameters. Each data pair is composed of: temperature in °C or °F, con-
ductivity or resistivity or TDS or NaCl. The printed parameters are selected using the “°C/°F”, and
“
χ
-
Ω
-TDS/ESC” keys.
The function is started by pressing SERIAL. The time interval between two consecutive prints can
be set from 1 second to 1 hour (please see the
Print and log interval
menu item on page 10). If the
print interval is equal to 0, by pressing SERIAL the single data is sent to the connected device. If
the print interval is higher than 0, the data transfer continues until the operator stops it by pressing
SERIAL again.
The PRINT function works with a standard serial communication program (e.g. Hyperterminal) only
through the RS232 serial port of the instrument, using the cable HD2110CSNM or the cable C.206.
Connect the HD40.1 printer using cable HD2110CSNM.
NOTES:
•
The print out is formatted across 24 columns.
•
Some keys are disabled during serial transmission. The following keys work: ON/OFF, FUNC
(Max-Min-Avg) and LOG.
•
The FUNC key has no effect on the print-outs, only on the display.
•
If the Auto-Hold function is enabled, the print time interval is forced to zero:
pressing
SERIAL only causes the print to occur when the measurement has stabilized (HOLD symbol
still). Later, it is possible to repeat the print at will, but while the HOLD mode is on, the sample
identifier number is not increased. This is useful when more labels must be printed with the
same identification code without increasing the code each time.
•
If the serial transfer is started when the display is in REL mode, the relative values are trans-
ferred.
•
It is possible to activate both the logging (LOG) and direct transfer (PRINT) functions at the
same time.
