Printing Measurement Data

The 1560 can be programmed to print out measurement data in real time. The
printing of measurements is enabled using the PRINT OUTPUT function in
the OUTPUT soft-key menu (see Section 5.3.3). A window will show a list of
printer devices. Move to the PARP device using the UD buttons. Change the
option to ON using the LR buttons. The 1560 will immediately begin print-
ing all new measurements to the printer or terminal connected to the parallel
printer port of the Communication Module.
The 1560 can also print previously-acquired measurement data. This is done
using the PRINT MEMORY function in the OUTPUT soft-key menu (see
Section 5.3.4). A window will show a list of printer devices. Select the Parallel
Printer Device by moving to the PARP device using the UD buttons and
pressing ENTER. Now, enter the number of measurements to print using the
numeric buttons and pressing ENTER. Press ENTER again to confirm. The
number of measurements you specified, if available, will be retrieved from
memory and printed to the printer or terminal connected to the parallel printer
port of the Communication Module.

Device Setup Commands

The SYST:MODn:DEVn:READ? and SYST: MODn:DEVn:WRIT commands
(see Sections 6.5.8.19 and 6.5.8.20) can be used to read or set the setup param-
eters for the 3560 Parallel Printer Device. The device number of the Parallel
Printer Device is 4. The module number for the 3560 module is its position in
the stack. For example, if the 1560 has four add-on modules, the 3560 being
the last, the module number for the 3560 is 4. Table 34 shows the device com-
mands used to read or set the setup parameters of the Parallel Printer Device.

Below are some examples of using the device commands to set the device pa-
rameters. For these examples it is assumed that the 3560 Communication Mod-
ule is placed fourth in the stack. These commands can be sent through any
communication interface including the IEEE-488 and RS-232 interfaces.
