Data Output
he Ludlum Model 2000 RS-232 serial port can be connected to a
computer or printer for data logging of the scaler count
information. Windows™-based software and cable are supplied
with the instrument. The computer software can control the count
time, start and stop counting, time/data stamp data, and print or save data.
An optional printer may also be purchased to print each scaler reading.
The two-pole dipswitch on the rear chassis underneath the calibration cover
controls the RS-232 data. The bottom switch (
PC
/
PRNTR
) controls the type
of data. In
PC
mode, data is bi-directional, allowing the computer to
start/stop counting. In the
PC
mode, the count time can also be changed by
the computer, but only if the count time push-wheels are set to “000”. In
the
PRNTR
mode, the scaler count is output at the end of each count only.
The top switch (
RECYC
/
OFF
) allows counting to recycle instead of requiring
a manual push of the
COUNT
button for each cycle. This mode is useful with
the optional printer for taking many separate counts.
Software
