8. PRINTING 
 
The recorded data can be sent to a computer through the serial RS232 port or to a 
parallel printer. Serial transmission requires Quest cable #54-715. Parallel 
transmission requires Quest cable #56-875. With the cable plugged in, select 
PRINT from the menu and press the I/O ENTER key to enter the PRINT mode. 
Begin printing by pressing the I/O ENTER key. Press the key again to abort 
printing. 
 
SERIAL
QuestSuite
TM
software is recommended for downloading, storing, and
graphing your data. Communications programs such as Window’s 
Hyperterminal may also be used to capture the printout into a file. The baud 
rate is fixed at 9600. 
 
PARALLEL
Data can be sent directly to parallel printers that accept direct ASCII test input 
without special drivers. Make sure the printer is powered on and is ONLINE, 
ready to accept data, prior to printing.
