Printing Measurement Results
Printing Measurement Results
Measurement results can be sent directly to a printer. Simply connect a compatible
printer to the rear-panel PARALLEL PRINTER PORT connector. The output is
ASCII text. An example of a compatible printer is Hewlett-Packard

series printer. Be sure to use a parallel printer cable to connect the printer.
The printer output is not a copy of the display. Rather, it is a listing of all signals
present at the input (up to 100). The measurement values printed depend on the set-
tings of the instrument when the Print key is pressed.
The following is an example of a typical printout:
