Printing Results (Reports)
A serial or parallel printer may be connected to the Analyzer's RS-232-C or
PRINTER ports respectively. Note that you cannot connect a GPIB printer
directly to the GPIB port; but you may "print" results to a GPIB controller, which
can store reports for later viewing or printing.
Basic Report Setup Procedure
The following initial setup procedure must be performed in order to generate any
type of Analyzer report.
1. Connect your printer to the Analyzer RS-232 or PRINTER ports as
appropriate. (See Chapter 6 for details).
2. Press F1 to enter the Menu system.
3. Select MORE (F1) to view the second page of the main Menu.
4. Set up the appropriate hardware port as follows:
a. If you are using a serial printer, select RS232 (F2) to set up the
serial port.
b. If you are "printing" to a GPIB controller, select GPIB (F3) to set
up the GPIB port
NOTE: The Analyzer PRINTER port is a standard PC-type parallel port which
requires no hardware setup.
5. Next, select the PRINT parameter (F4).
a. Set the PORT parameter to Parallel, GPIB, or Serial.
b. Set the ON/OFF parameter to ON to enable reports.
NOTE: The PRINT ON/OFF parameter must be set to ON to print any type of
