However, upon starting the timed operation, the DV-II+ 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, continous printing will again resume at the user selected time
interval. In a similar manner, if you are in the once-per-
PRINT -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
PRINT key.

Using the UP and DOWN ARROW keys, enter a value for the seconds portion of the print interval. 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 50.
Continued pressing of the OPTIONS/TAB key will toggle between the minutes and seconds input
screens. Press the ENTER/AUTORANGE key to accept the new values for print interval in minutes
and seconds. You will now be in the screen display of Figure 50 where you may re-enter the print
interval mode, or exit to the default screen (Figure 7) by pressing the
MOTOR ON/OFF/ESCAPE key.
