PROGRAM PRINT OPTIONS MODULE
A print operation occurs when a User Input, programmed for the print
request function, is activated or when a “P” command is sent via the serial
communications port. The unit will transmit the values selected as “YES” in
this module.
If a display is in an overflow condition, an asterisk will precede the digits
that are printed (ex. positive overflow * 2178, negative overflow * -2178).
Serial transmissions are covered in detail in the serial communications
section.
MNEMONICS (MNEM-YES/NO)
When transmitting data, the unit can be programmed to suppress the
address number, mnemonics, and some spaces by selecting NO for the
MNEM (mnemonics). A selection of NO results in a faster transmission and
may be useful when interfacing with a computer. However, when interfacing
with a printer, sending mnemonics is usually desirable. Setting MNEM to
YES inserts the address, mnemonics and a 400 msec printer delay following
each transmitted print option. An example of sending and NOT sending
mnemonics are shown below:
6 CNT 123.8<CR><LF> with mnemonics
123.8<CR><LF> without mnemonics
TRANSMIT AND RESET (TX&R-YES/NO)
When programmed to YES each count value selected to be printed is reset
after the count value is acquired for serial transmission.
TRANSMIT MESSAGE #0 (MSG0-YES/NO)
Enables the first 60 characters of message #0 to be transmitted as a print
header (first item in the print out). For a single line print header, program
message #0 as 1L or 2L Scroll. For a multiple line print header, program
message #0 as 1L or 2L Block. The End of Line or End of Block character is
used to indicate the end of a line on the header. Do not use them in the same
fashion as messages to be displayed on the unit. When entering the text for
each line, if a word does not fit on a line, allow it to continue on the next line or
block. Refer to Program Messages section.
