Timed Print Out
The OCM-3 can be programmed to periodically print out OCM data (P34/35). A typical
print out will have the following format.

When the output is directed to a serial printer, a delay is inserted between each line to
allow the printer time to print each line before another is sent. In that way, the simplest
of printers may be used without need of XON/OFF or hardware handshaking; only a
three wire connection is required. The printer must be at least 40 columns wide. The
OCM-3 sends text in upper and lower case. The printer must support both upper and
lower case or else treat lower case as if it had been sent in upper case.

e.g.
P34 = 1, printer mode set for interval in minutes
P35 = 7, print interval set for 7 minutes
Printing starts at 7 minutes after the hour and will occur every
7 minutes thereafter until 56 minutes into the hour. The next
print out would not occur until 7 minutes into the next hour.

Since the port used for communication is the same as used for normal serial
communication, a software switch controls whether or not the display is sent out on
the serial port. The switch is controlled by typing ’v’ to allow data transmission or ’w’ to
stop it. The Milltronics printer emulation program does this automatically.

If the OCM-3 is connected to a computer programmed for printer emulation, the
computer will receive the print out data and display it on the video terminal (refer to
Milltronics Utilities Software).
