8.4 Printing Records from the Notepad to the RS232 Port
This function is only available when the optional RS232 port is fitted.
1.
Connect one end of the RS232 cable to the
Charger/RS232
socket of the
WP-84
. The charger, optional solar panel, or optional car battery lead can be
connected into the spare socket on the cable for long term use, if required.
2.
Connect the other end of the RS232 cable to an RS232 Printer, or to COM1 or
COM2 of a PC.
When using a PC, it must have a software utility installed which can
communicate with the RS232 port. Windows 95, 98 & ME are shipped with
Hyper Terminal, which is suitable for this purpose.
3.
Ensure that the baud rate for the printer or PC and the
WP-84
are the same.
If necessary, alter the baud rate of the
WP-84
(see section 10.1).
The
WP-84
uses XON/XOFF protocol. Ensure that the printer is set
accordingly.
4.
Select the Notepad menu (
→
→
F2:Notepad
).
5.
Select
F3:Print
from the menu.
Printing starts as soon as
is pressed. The display shows the word
“
Printing
” until printing is completed.
Note
Downloading the recorded readings is as simple as clicking on the toolbar using
the optional WinTPS RS232 Communication Software. This is part number
130086 and is available from TPS or your distributor.
