With certain
peripherals it is often
necessary to insert a
delay between each
line or reading. This
is especially true of
most small
MITUTOYO
printers.
With the line delay
you want displayed,
press the MORE
key. . . The line delay is
entered into memory
and the current setting
of the transmit mode is
displayed.
6. This option allows
the user to choose
whether displayed
readings are
transmitted
immediately to an
external peripheral,
or stored in the
instruments internal
memory for later
transmission.
In the main display
mode, when readings
are transmitted using
the TXD key, both
RS-232 and
MITUTOYO readings
are sent to their
respective ports
consecutively.
This line delay is
executed after the
whole transmission
sequence. The delay
is usually only needed
when the instrument
is sending multiple
readings to a
peripheral, e.g. when
transmitting all
stored memory
readings.
Transmit Mode
A single reading can
be requested from
the instrument by
sending a ? character
to the RS-232 input.
This will send a
reading to the RS-
232 port only. A
single MITUTOYO
reading can also be
requested if the
peripheral being used
is equipped with the
standard MITUTOYO
REQ output.
