4.13.- Direct Access to Functions
Keys FA [28] and FB [29] give direct access to any of the functions on the TV and Spectrum Analyser mode functions menus. To
establish a relationship between the direct access key and a function, access the functions menu, select the function you wish to access
directly and press key FA [28] or FB [29]. From then on when you press key FA [28] or FB [29] the function will be accessed directly.
4.14.- Printing Measurements and Memories
By connecting the instrument to a serial printer it is possible to obtain a printed report of a sequence of measurements just at the moment
they are taken, or later, if they are recorded with the Data logger function. This enables the user to keep a file about the state of the system
and provide the documents related to the level measurements for analysis purposes.
The installation process consists of simply using the data transfer cable to connect the printer to the RS-232C connector [37] on the MTD
120 (see section '4.14.1 Handshake and control lines'). Switch off the power to both instruments before connecting.
To print measurements select the Data logger function on the functions menu (see section '4.9.2.4 Data Logger function'), access the
configuration menu, activate the print field (Print: On) and switch on the printer. From now on the printing process is equivalent to taking
measurements.
The following figure shows an example of printing two activated columns (memories 1 PM01 and 2 PM02) and two activated rows (test
points 1 and 2).
