Hardcopy
Reference
Before you make a hardcopy, you need to set up communications and hard-
copy parameters. This discussion assumes that the hardcopy device is
already connected to the GPIB port on the rear panel. If that is not the case
see
Connection Strategies
on page 3-63.
Setting Communication Parameters
To set up the communication parameters to talk to a printer attached directly
to the oscilloscope GPIB port:
Press SHIFT UTILITY ➞ System (main) ➞ I/O (pop-up) ➞ Port ➞
GPIB (pop-up) ➞ Configure (main) ➞ Hardcopy (Talk Only) (side).
To set up the communication parameters to talk to a printer attached directly
to the oscilloscope RS-232 port:
Press SHIFT UTILITY ➞ System (main) ➞ I/O (pop-up) ➞ Port ➞
RS232 (pop-up) ➞ Hardware Setup (main).
Press the side-menu Baud Rate, Stop Bits, Parity and Hard Flagging items
and enter data as desired to match the hardcopy device
