print mode and finally initiate either of the timed modes of operation. While setting

up the timed mode parameters, continuous print operation will cease. However, upon

starting the timed operation, the DV-II+Pro will output an initial data string to the printer

and then continue printing data strings (at the user defined time interval) for the duration

of the timed run. At the end of the timed run, continuous printing will again be disabled

and the user may print single strings (of the final data point) at your option until you exit

the timed mode. Upon returning to the default operation mode, continuous printing will

again resume at the user selected time interval. In a similar manner, if you are in the

once-per-

-key-press mode, when you enter the timed mode of operation you will

be able to print data strings at any time during the timed mode by pressing the

key.

This value can be between zero (0) and fifty-nine (59) seconds.

Note:

The value for minutes or seconds must be other than zero (0) or

you will print continuously when you exit this mode. A press of

the MOTOR ON/OFF/ESCAPE key would exit this option and

take you back to the screen of Figure IV-29.

seconds. You will now be in the screen display of Figure IV-29 where you may re-enter the print

interval mode, or exit to the default screen (Figure II-5) by pressing the

MOTOR ON/OFF/ESCAPE

key.
