Activating a Data Output Process
You can define the data output parameter so that output is activated either
automatically or when a print command is received. You have two options for the
automatic mode: data output can be either synchronous with the balance display
or activated at defined intervals (to select the parameter, see the section entitled
“Utilities for Printouts or Data Transfer”).
Data Output by Print Command
The print command can be transmitted by a software command or by
pressing
p
.
In addition to an interface cable for a different device, you can connect an
external universal switch for remote control to the balance interface port (for the
print function, see page 35). For the switch, use pins 8 and 15 of this port and
a cable up to 1.5 m or 5 ft. long (RS-232C).
If data output is requested by a software command (see the section on “Data Input
Formats”), you can install a 15-m (50-ft.) cable for RS-232C.
Automatic Data Output
In the “auto print” operating mode, the data are output to the interface port without
requiring a print command. You can choose to have data output automatically at
defined print intervals with or without the stability parameter. Whichever parameter
you select, the data will be output as the readouts appear on the balance display.
If you select the auto print setting, data will be transmitted immediately the moment
you turn on the balance. This data output function is described under “Utilities...”
on page 36.
Higher Data Output Rates
If you require an output rate higher than 10 Hz, ask Sartorius for this information.
