Configuring the Interface
By using the front-panel controls, you must place the RS-232-C interface in
either the printer mode or the controller mode. Use the printer mode when
you want the instrument to talk directly to a printer over RS-232-C without
the aid of a controller. Use the controller mode when the instrument will
operate in conjunction with a controller over RS-232-C.
Use the Print/Utility menu key on the front panel to do this after you have
installed the RS-232-C interface on the rear panel of the oscilloscope. Use
this menu to “Connect to Computer,” and assign the baud rate and
handshake protocol.
