CONNECTION TO A PC
18.1
Field of Application
The Autoprint PC software, available as an accessory, provides the mean to transfer the
measurement results as a text file or the whole contents of the screen as a bit map file to a PC, to be
saved and/or printed (if a printer is connected to the PC). The files can also be placed into the
clipboard of the PC from which they can be inserted into a document.
18.2
Installation
Switch off the Analyzer Q1 and the PC before interconnecting them. Connect the RS232
printer
interface of the instrument with the 9-pin link cable to the COM1 or COM2 port of the PC.
The installation and operating instructions are available in the Autoprint Instruction Manual.

MAINTENANCE
Analyzer Q1 does not require any special maintenance.
Only use a soft cloth to remove the dirt; do not use aggressive detergents or solvents. Clean the LCD
display with a slightly moistened cloth.
Protect the instrument with its specific dust-proof cover when it is not used.
Disconnect the power supply during longer idle periods (e.g. vacations).
To keep measurements accurate, we recommend contacting our customer service in order to have
your instrument calibrated and its functionality checked yearly.
The date of the last calibration appears on the display when switching on the instrument.
Do not hesitate to contact customer service at our headquarters or one of our agencies if you require
more information.
