Operations and Maintenance Manual
NOTE: External Eventing requires an additional free COM Port. If there are no more
available COM Ports on your PC, contact SYQWEST for an expansion card.
NOTE: Periodic Eventing is not available when External Eventing has been enabled.
NOTE: All event marks and text annotation shown on the screen are inserted BETWEEN
the acquired bottom data so that there is no loss of information.
Configure Thermal Printer
This menu allows you to configure a thermal printer for use with the StrataBox software. It supports 3
different models from the Raytheon/SYQWEST TDU series, including the TDU-850, TDU-1200, and the
TDU-2000.
In addition to Enabling or Disabling the printer, there are a number of other options available to the user.
These settings only affect the thermal printout, not the on-screen display. They include:
•
Display Negative Image
- Enabling this option will invert the gray scale colors on the thermal printout.
•
Flip Rasters Left to Right or Top to Bottom
- Enabling this option will print a mirror image of the event/annotation marks. This
option is to be used in conjunction with the L/R dip switch located on the back of the
TDU Printer (Refer to your TDU Manual for more information). By default, the switch
is set to the L position and so this option should not be enabled. However, if the dip
switch is set to R, enable this option to print the event/annotation marks correctly.
