Review data notes:

1) The DV-III stores data from the most recent speed set program test. When a subsequent

speed set program is run, any test data in memory will be overwritten and the previous
data will be lost.

2) If the “Printer Only” option is selected, the date, time of day, model and spindle number

are printed with the test results. The DV-III does not store time and date when it is turned
off; therefore, the time and date must be entered when printing the first time after start-
up.

The date is entered as 6 consecutive digits in mm/dd/yy or, dd/mm/yy format. The time
is entered in 4 consecutive digits for 24 hour format; for example, 2:30PM is entered as
1430 hours.

Press the option key to start printing after date/time entry.

3) The DV-III may be set-up to “handshake” (using XOn/XOff protocol) or not handshake

when connected to a serial printer. If you opt to use the handshake mode, your printer is
on line”, all cable connections are correct and your printer is set for handshake mode,
then data should appear on your printer immediately. If it does not appear, and instead
you see the message:

PRINTER IS NOT READY TURN ON/PRESS ONLINE

then you should

turn the handshake option off. This is done from the Options menu as described
previously in the section “Print Options” (see Section IV.1).
