Communication DIP Switch Settings
Echo function
The Model 186 has an echo feature which is enabled or disabled by communication
DIP switch 2. When the echo function is enabled, the Model 186 will echo the
incoming command characters back to the transmitting device. The echo feature is
useful when using an interactive terminal program on a host computer for
communicating with the Model 186. The settings are:
Data logger function
Switch 1 of the communications DIP switch controls the data logger function. This
feature is normally used with a printer rather than a host computer, since a computer
can be more usefully programmed utilizing the available command set. The data
logger function generates a time relative to instrument power-up and a corresponding
level. The units of the level output are set by the units mode toggle switch. The time
and corresponding level are formatted and output to the host device at regular
intervals as specified by the switches 3 through 5. The settings for the data logger
function are:
The host device can be a standard dot matrix printer connected via a serial-to-parallel
converter, or connected directly with a printer capable of receiving serial data.
Presumably, any serial-to-parallel converter which can be properly configured is
acceptable. AMI has tested the Model 186 with a standard, low cost converter
configured as a DTE device, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. In order to
