Page 6: Capter 1 General Description
This chapter provides an overview. 1.1 Overview When you connect a DP-581H thermal printer to the midi LOGGER series, the logger signals can be printed on the printer. The waveforms of the input signals can be printed in real time, numeric values can be printed as a log, and the displayed screen can be printed. -

Print timing ... - Page 25 In the case of start/stop trigger In the case of start/stop trigger, the start timing is same as the start trigger. The stop key or stop trigger stops not only the recording but also the printing. The following is a description of what happens when the disk or memory becomes full.
- Page 26 When the start/stop trigger is set to repeat ● Basically, start/stop trigger is repeated. Printing is paused before repeating starts. A few milliseconds is inserted between the old recording and new recording, and printing is started again from the beginning. Scale print and list print are not performed during a repeat period but when printing finally stops.
