Printer Usage with the Flow Computer
The Flow Computer may be connected to a printer in or-
der to provide data logging reports and equipment setup
reports.
It is required to use a printer with a RS-232 connection.
In addition, the printer must have a 2KB buffer (min.).
The printer must be compatible with the flow computers
available baud rates of 300, 1200, or 9600 baud. The data
format is 8 bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
Hardware handshaking is not supported.
The printed outputs assume a 20 column paper width.
The user can define the data logging interval and the
information to be printed during the setup of the instru-
ment.
No print strobe is supported on this model.
Line Oriented Data Input
RS-232 communication provides access to all operating
parameters of the Flow Computer. The instrument con-
stantly monitors the RS-232 port for activity, entering the
data received into an internal 80 character memory
buffer. Entry is terminated when a carriage return is
entered (Return or Enter key) or when the buffer size is
exceeded. At that time, the information is parsed by the
internal parser and a dispatch to the appropriate service
routine is made.
