4.13 Transmitting data
4.13.1 Printer and terminal programs
Usable printers Data can be printed with the following printers:
z Matrix printer connected to the RS232 interface
z Standard printer (ink or laser) connected to the USB-A interface
Note
Suitable are all printers that can interpret the PCL-3 printer control language.
The printer symbol indicates that the display contents can be printed. To
print, press <PRINT>.
PC + terminal
program
The data can also be received by a PC with terminal program instead of a
printer. For this the PC is connected to the photometer via the RS232
interface. The output is identical.
Note
In the following sections, "print" means both output to a printer and output to
a PC + terminal program.
4.13.2 Settings for data transmission
Settings are possible for the data transmission to a printer or PC.
Decimal separators
for CSV files
For the output of CSV files you can select either a comma or a point as the
decimal separator. The setting is made in the following menu:
<HOME> -> General setup -> Data transfer/Printer -> Decimal separator for
csv-Files -> Comma (12,34) or Point (12.34).
Short and long
version
When printing measurement datasets, you can select a short or long version
with different information contents. The setting is made in the following menu:
<HOME> -> General setup -> Data transfer/Printer -> Data format (print) ->
Short or Extended.
Baud rate for
RS232 interface
The baud rate can be set for printers that are operated at the RS232
interface. Adjust the photoLab
®
6100 VIS to the baud rate of the printer. The
setting is made in the following menu:
<HOME> -> General setup -> Data transfer/Printer -> Baudrate for printer ->
1200 ... 19200.
