16.8 Sending Readings to Other Devices

Digital measurements displayed in the measurement line can be

transmitted via the RS-232 I/O port to any compatible device, such

as a personal computer, printer, or other RS-232 recording instru-

ment.

In most cases, the displayed thickness (S=) value will be sent.

However, when a value is entered in the ANGLE function (lower

level menus), enabling trigonometric flaw location for angle beam

testing, the three measurement line values, S=, P= and D=, will be

transmitted together.

In all cases, the correct cable will be required. Refer to Chapter 2

for a listing of available cables. Non-standard cables are also avail-

able. Contact your nearest Krautkramer representative.

If necessary, set RS-232 protocol (Section 16.2).

To send the displayed measurement line value(s):

1. Select lower level menu:

2. Frame the column, which contains the COPY MODE func-

tion:

or ; or

3. Set COPY MODE to THICKNESS:

4. Frame the Data Logger functions (lower level menu): or

; or

5. Set FILE MODE to OFF:

This disables the on-board Data Logger.

6. Return to the A-scan display:

7. Obtain the desired digital measurement(s) in the measure-

ment line. (Refer to Chapter 14 for digital measurement pro-

cedures.)

8. Send the reading(s):

The table on the next page shows single reading formats of mea-

surement (S=) values transmitted by the USN52 L. Specific for-

mat depends on unit of measure and the measurement resolution.
