is available from Fluke (part #2238072) or from most electronic supply outlets.
To attach the parallel cable:
1. Connect the 36-pin end for the Centronics type parallel cable to the printer’s parallel
input connector.
2. Attach the 25-pin male end of the parallel cable to the 25-pin connector on the back
of the Analyzer.
