5 - 54 FUNCTION REFERENCE
Interface
The instrument is equipped with an RS-232 Interface as standard. This interface
can be used with an RS-232 printer or plotter.
The IEEE 488.2 Interface is available as factory installable option. This interface
can be used with IEEE-488 compatible printers or plotters.
For correct functioning, correct interface parameters must be set. This is done in
the menu UTILITY >> PRINT&PLOT&CLOCK.
Press the IEEE / RS232 softkey to select the IEEE or the RS232 interface.
Printer or plotter
This selects the menu to set up a printer or plotter being used.
Printer type Supported printers: HP2225, FX80, LQ1500,
HPLASER (150 dpi), HP540 DeskJet or
compatibles. The TRACK control is used to make
the selection.
Plotter type Supported plotters: HP7440, HP7550, HP7475A,
HP7470A, HPGL (Can be used to import
screenplots in a suitable word processing files),
PM8277, PM8278 and dump-m1. This selects a
trace dump to arbitrary waveform generator
PM5150. The dump action is started with the front
panel key HARD COPY or PLOT. Data transfer is
possible via RS232 or IEEE option. The TRACK
control is used to make the selection.
Layout
A submenu is provided to customize the output to the printer or plotter. This
submenu changes, depending on the printer or plotter that has been selected.
Grid If ‘yes’, the complete grid (screen graticule) with
divisions is printed/plotted. If ‘no’, only the square
border in printed/plotted.
Paper size This can be 11" or 12" for printer and A4 (A size) or
A3 (B size) for plotters.
Plot format (plotters only) This can be 1:1 and 2:1.
Trace information If ‘yes’, the settings readout and measuring results
are printed/plotted.
Colors (plotters only) If ’yes’, the traces are plotted in different colors. If
‘no’, all traces are plotted in one color.
