Printing Data 4-1
March 2008
Introduction The Model DF868 flowmeter has the capability to print any of the
data stored in its memory via the built-in RS232 communications
port. In order to use the function, the RS232 port must be connected
to a printer with a serial port input. A printer with a parallel port input
may be used with a third-party serial-to-parallel adapter.
Note: See Chapter 1, Installation, of the Startup Guide for
instructions on wiring the RS232 port. For additional
information, refer to Chapter 6, Serial Communications and
the brochure EIA-RS Serial Communications (916-054).
After connecting the Model DF868 to a printer, the Print Menu is
used to print live or logged data in either numeric or graphical format.
In addition, any site files stored in memory may be printed. The Print
Menu is divided into the following submenus:
• PRNTR - use to specify the printer currently connected
• DATA - use to print live data in numeric or graphical format
• LOG - use to print a log file in numeric or graphical format
• PROG - use to print a site file
• STOP - use to terminate any active print jobs
For purposes of this discussion it is assumed that the left pane of the
data display screen is active. If the right pane of the data display
screen is active, all of the instructions remain the same, except that
any references to the
[F1]-[F4] keys should be replaced by the [F5]-[F8]
keys.
Refer to the flow diagram in Figure A-7 on page A-7, and proceed to
the desired section for detailed instructions. Any submenu may be
followed in the sequence shown or the [↑] and [↓] keys may be used
to scroll through the prompts.
Note: If a printer has not yet been set up, the instructions in the
PRNTR submenu on page 4-2 must be completed before
proceeding to any of the other submenus.
