4.2.3 Communication Protocol

The Model 415 has a real time clock and enables the time and date to be set and
printed on tickets. The date format can be European (days/months/years) or USA
(months/days/hours), while the time is on a 24 hour clock.

Note that the clock will only retain its time for 3 days minimum if there is no
power connected to the instrument. After this period, the clock may need to be
reset.

The baudrate, parity and wordlength can be programmed during calibration and
the user must ensure that these correspond to the setting on the printer or
computer with which the Model 415 is communicating.

The software protocols can be selected during Calibration to provide standard
interfaces to a number of printers and computers. Since other interfaces will
continue to be added, the user should consult the manual "The RS232/422/485
Communications Option for the 400 Series, Version 2"
, for the latest protocols
and printer drivers.

Printer

A ticket is printed each time the RESET key is pressed or at defined time
intervals (see Data Logging). If the Reset key is used, the instrument prints the
ticket before resetting the totals.
