BT-610-9800 Rev C
5.4.1. Report Type
The Report setting determines the output format for the Serial Port. The choices are
NONE, CSV and PRINTER.
When set to NONE, the unit will not automatically output the reading at the end of a
sample to the Serial Port. CSV is a Comma Separated Values output format suitable
for importing into a spreadsheet. PRINTER is the same format as the screen and panel
mounted printer.
This setting does not affect the panel mounted printer which always prints in PRINTER
format.
5.4.2. Baud Rate
Use the Baud Rate selection to set the serial communications baud rate. BT-610
communicates at baud rates from 300
– 38400.
5.4.3. Serial Output Mode
The Serial Out setting controls the behavior of the BT-610 serial output. The modes
are RS232, RS485, Printer or Network (see Section 7 for serial communication
protocol). The following table lists the Serial Output settings and describes their
meanings.
