10.1 Introduction
This chapter informs you on how to obtain hard copies of data stored
in the memory of the monitor. This could, for example, be existing
calibration data, which you need prior to recalibrating.
For those of you who want to use the monitor as a stand-alone
instrument, this chapter enables you to print-out measurement data,
error-logs and data-logs. If any error occurs during any of these
operations, a warning will be displayed. All possible errors of this
kind are listed in Chapter 14 .
The Monitor has four interface ports on its back panel, the RS-232,
port can be used for printing or the Ethernet port can be used to
print to a terminal program like HyperTerminal. This means that any
standard text printer with a RS232 interface can be used to print-out
data from the Monitor. Data can be printed out while the Monitor is
operating – using the Data-logging facility. This means that during
a monitoring task or during a calibration task the Monitor will
automatically send measurement results to the printer as soon as
they are available. Any operational errors or warnings that occur
during a monitoring task can also be automatically printed out using
the Error-logging facility. Alternatively, when the Monitor is not
being operated in any mode, data can be printed out using the
PRINT button. Data can be printed out in three different blocks:
1. Measurement: this block contains the measurement data
displayed on the Monitor screen during the printing operation – it
also provides the set-up parameters for the displayed monitoring
task (see section 8.2 ).
2. Set-Up: this block contains active set-up parameters.
3. Calibration: this block contains the optical filter factors,
calibration factors and all other information related to the
calibration of the optical filters installed in the Monitor.
10.2 Printer Cables
To connect the cables:
1. Ensure that both the Monitor and the printer are switched off at
the mains. Failure to do so may result in your equipment being
damaged.
2. Locate the desired port at the back of the monitor. The ports are
labelled “RS-232”.
3. Push the cable connector on to the correct socket, and secure it
firmly using the securing screws.
