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 MNEM
(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. Serial transmissions are
covered in detail in the Serial Communications section. An example of sending
and NOT sending mnemonics are shown below:

6 PRC 123.8

123.8

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.
