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.
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.
MNEMONICS (MNEM-YES/NO)
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. Setting MNEM to YES inserts the address,
mnemonics and a 400 msec printer delay following each transmitted print option. An
example of sending and NOT sending mnemonics are shown below:
6 PRC 123.8 with mnemonics
123.8 without mnemonics
TRANSMIT AND RESET (TX&R-YES/NO)
When programmed to YES all count values selected to be printed are reset
after the count value is acquired for serial transmission.
MESSAGE 0 (MSG0-YES/NO)
Enables the first 60 characters of message #0 to be transmitted as a print header
(first item in the print out). For a single line print header, program message #0 as 1L
or 2L Scroll. For a multiple line print header, program message #0 as 1L or 2L
Block. The End of Line or End of Block character is used to indicate the end of a
line of header. Do not use them in the same fashion as messages to be displayed on
the unit. When entering the text for each line, if a word does not fit on a line, allow it
to continue on the next line or block. Refer to Program Messages section.
