Chapter 4: Basic Analyzer Operation
For example, a successful measurement would output as follows:
Mode values (Field 1) can be On-Line, Timed (On-Line Timed), Averaged (On-Line Averaged), or Grab. For
information on Analyzer modes, see “Setting the Analyzer Mode” on page 69. In a warning or error condition,
some values may not be output.
After field 9, the Analyzer outputs a carriage return, followed by a line feed.
If configured to a 400 ES format, refer to the “Series 400ES, 400DI, 2244OL TOC Analyzer Operations and
Maintenance Manual.
Issuing Serial Commands to the Analyzer
You can use a PC running a communications program, such as HyperTerminal, to issue commands to the
Analyzer via a serial (RS-232) connection or Ethernet (port 23). For information on establishing a connection,
consult “Using HyperTerminal” on page 179 in the Appendix. The Analyzer accepts the following serial
commands:
RUN Start analysis
STP Stop analysis
When the Analyzer receives one of these commands successfully, it returns
ACK
to the communications
program on the PC. If the command fails or if a bad command is sent, the Analyzer returns
NAK
.
Configuring Printer Settings
You can change the way the Analyzer formats output sent to the printer.
1. Select the I/O tab.
2. Press the Printer button.
3. Press the Printer button and choose Epson , Seiko , or Citizen , depending on the type of printer you
have. If no printer is attached to the Analyzer, choose No Printer . If you want to try using a printer made
by a different manufacturer, select Citizen , as it offers the most generic compatibility.
4. Set Header Frequency to First Page or All Pages to specify when a header will print. The header
includes basic information about the Analyzer, including the firmware version, Analyzer serial number,
and the current date.
