Printing the Results
You can print the solution results to an external printer, using the
RS-232 9-pin cable to connect the instrument to your PC or printer. If
the printer is not a serial printer, use a serial to parallel converter.

Output to LIMS System
Results can be sent to a LIMS system using the RS-232 output on the
rear of the Instrument. To do this:

Each time the READ key is pressed data is output as follows:
The layout is as follows:
Calibration Standard ID, Concentration, Background Absorbance,
Mean Absorbance, Replicates Absorbances.
Batch Number, Sample Number, Concentration, Background
Absorbance, Mean Absorbance, Replicates Absorbances.

Set the 'Text style' to 'Printer' on the Options page, and set the
'Baud rate' and 'Lines per page'.
Ensure the RS-232 cable is connected from the serial port on the
back of the instrument to the printer.
Press the Read key to measure the current solution. As each
solution is measured, the result will be sent to the printer.
Connect a RS-232 cable from the rear of the instrument to the
RS-232 input on the LIMS, for example the COM1 connector on
the rear of a PC.
Set the baud rate of the connection to that of the controlling
system.
