Output Processing Instructions in the program table. Consult the datalogger
manual for details about using Instruction 96. Do not use both the *4 Mode
and Instruction 96 to activate a device in a datalogger program.

Instruction:

96

Parameter:

01:22

Explanation:

Option 22 selects binary printer output at 9600 baud. The
left digit specifies the device option and the right, the baud
rate. Refer to the datalogger manual for further details.

3.2.2 *4 Mode — Output Device Enable

The *4 Mode is used to enable the output of Final Storage data to a printer.
The Storage Module will capture this printer output.

Select option ‘X1’ in window 1, and set the baud rate at 9600 (option 02) in
window 2 (to match the Storage Module’s default setting). Data is written to
the Storage Module each time data is sent to Final Storage.

While the module will work with *4, data will be stored in the
module in ASCII format which requires up to 5 times more
memory space than binary format. Consider buying an
operating system upgrade for dataloggers that do not allow
binary data storage with P96.

3.2.3 *9 Mode — Keyboard-Initiated Data Transfer

The *9 Mode in the 21X and CR7 dataloggers is used to transfer a specified
block of data from Final Storage to the Storage Module. Consult the
appropriate datalogger manual for details. This function is different from the
*9 Mode in the CR10/10X and CR23X.

3.3 Special Data Storage Operations

3.3.1 DSP4 Heads Up Display

In addition to real-time monitoring of datalogger measurements, the DSP4
Heads Up Display can be used with the CR10/10X, CR23X, 21X and CR7
dataloggers to store and retrieve data and programs. With the DSP4 Storage
Module function enabled, datalogger Final Storage data can be sent to the
Storage Module. Refer to the DSP4 Instruction Manual for more details
regarding use with Storage Modules.

3.3.2 Storing Burst Measurement Data from the 21X

Burst Measurement (Instruction 23) is a special datalogger instruction available
for the 21X which makes fast analog voltage measurements. Two options are
available for data retrieval with this instruction:
