PROGRAM PRINT OPTIONS MODULE

A print operation occurs when a user input, programmed for the print

request function, is activated or when a “P” command is sent via the serial
communications port. The unit will transmit the values selected as “YES” in
this module.

When transmitting data, the unit can be programmed to suppress the

address number, mnemonics, and some spaces by selecting NO for the MNE
(mnemonics). A selection of NO results in a faster transmission and may be
useful when interfacing with a computer. However when interfacing with a
printer, sending mnemonics is usually desirable. An example of sending and
NOT sending mnemonics are shown below:

If a display is in an overflow condition, an asterisk will precede the digits

that are printed (ex. positive overflow * 2178, negative overflow *- 2178).

Serial transmissions are covered in detail in the serial communications

section.
